What is GOMA in Brisbane?
GOMA is the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art, a major contemporary art museum at South Bank in Brisbane. It opened in 2006 and is Australia's largest gallery of modern and contemporary art.
GOMA and the neighbouring Queensland Art Gallery together form QAGOMA. The modern building sits beside the Brisbane River, with large glass walls and open spaces for big installations.
The gallery is known for its Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art, first held in 1993, which brings together artists from Asia, the Pacific and Australia. GOMA also hosts major summer exhibitions and film programs.
Visiting GOMA
Entry to the collection is free, and the gallery has a cinema and a dedicated children's art centre. Its works range from painting and sculpture to video and interactive art.
GOMA's location makes it easy to combine with the State Library, the Queensland Museum and South Bank parklands. The riverside lawns are popular for picnics.
The gallery's cafe and riverside terrace are popular places to pause between exhibitions.
