Mosman Art Gallery

The Mosman Art Prize has run annually since 1947 — first judged by Lloyd Rees, first won by Margaret Olley — and the gallery that grew around it holds that history seriously. Free entry, a permanent collection tracing Streeton and Roberts through to contemporary work, and a program that reaches back 60,000 years to the Borogaigal and Cammeraigal peoples make this a suburb gallery that earns genuine attention.
