The National Gallery of Australia’s new venue and inaugural exhibition space, NGA Contemporary, is opening later this month.

Nestled on the water’s edge of Canberra’s Lake Burley Griffin, the new art space is part of an initiative to showcase the national collection of Australian Contemporary art that was previously confined to a ‘limited and compromised space.’
