Art and the cultural diversity of Brisbane
Arts and Culture
No where else is Brisbane's cultural diversity more evident than through its thriving arts and cultural scene. A full calendar of theatre, opera, ballet, musicals and concerts complements an exciting program of exhibitions, installations and cultural attractions.
The cultural hub of Brisbane is the Queensland Cultural Centre adjacent to South Bank on the Brisbane River, home to some of the nations leading art institutions. Make sure you visit the Queensland Museum & Sciencentre, State Library of Queensland, the Queensland Art Gallery and the Gallery of Modern Art - the largest modern art museum in Australia.
At night, visit the dress circle of the Queensland Performing Arts Centre's (QPAC) four venues, and catch a show by the Queensland Theatre Company, Queensland Ballet, Queensland Orchestra or Opera Queensland. Alternatively you could head to New Farm for the Brisbane Powerhouse Centre for the Arts which is home to a progressive program of contemporary arts from Australia and overseas.
