Art Gallery of New South Wales
I think spending some time in the contemporary section is a must! It offers such cool pieces, and you can really feel the vibe of modern Australia.
Hit up the cafe for lunch—they have some great affordable options. I was surprised how reasonable the prices were for a gallery cafe!
Powerhouse Museum
Bring your own water bottle! The cafes can be pricey, and refilling at the water stations is totally free.
Make sure to check for any special events or exhibitions happening during your visit. I stumbled upon a cool science workshop that I hadn't seen advertised before.
I recommend visiting on a weekday if you can. It was way less crowded, and I got to enjoy the exhibits without feeling rushed.
If you're a fan of interactive exhibits, don't miss the experimentation zone. I spent way more time there than I planned, but it was so fun!
Modern Art Museum
There’s often some cool outdoor installations too. I think walking around the area after your visit is a great way to extend your experience.
if you’re into photography, bring your good camera. i took some great shots and they allow photography without flash, which is a bouns!
Australian Museum
Australian National Maritime Museum
While the museum is fantastic, I would suggest setting aside some time to explore Pyrmont Bridge right after. The views are stunning and it's nice to take a break after hitting the exhibits. Just don't forget your camera!
