Get tickets 🎟️ See the world from a new perspective at QAGOMA. Together, the Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art offer compelling experiences that will move and surprise you. Our two galleries each have their own distinct personalities, but are united in their purpose to share exceptional art. Queensland Art Gallery was established in 1895 and moved to its current residenc

e at South Bank in 1982. It was joined by the Gallery of Modern Art in 2006 and the galleries now house a globally significant collection of contemporary art from Australia, Asia and the Pacific. The experience of a visit starts when the striking architecture of our riverside galleries comes into view. Glimpses of Brisbane continue to anchor you to our subtropical city from inside each gallery, while ever-changing exhibitions, programs and events broaden your horizons. QAGOMA is also home to a Children’s Art Centre that presents interactive artworks for kids and families, a cinema that celebrates film from around the world, plus gallery shops with art, books and cultural curios to take home. Every visit is a conversation starter, and our outdoor cafes and award-winning restaurant offer places for stimulating discussion. So whatever your mood, there is always something to capture your interest. Curate your next outing by checking what’s on, or drop in to see what’s new.

Who's up for a cinematic Sunday sesh? 💋 🎞️💰

How do deadly schemes, double-crosses and crime-comedy capers sound?

Billy Wilder’s 'Double Indemnity' is the quintessential film noir – a shadowy, hardboiled tale of greed, lust and murder, and the key inspiration for John Cassavetes’s final directorial film, 'Big Trouble' 1986.

Catch both films this Sunday for a double dose of classic cinema.

🎥 Sun 23 Aug
1.00pm, 'Double Indemnity' 1944 PG
3.15pm, 'Big Trouble' 1986 M (screening on 35mm)

'The Films of John Cassavetes' program continues at GOMA’s Australian Cinémathèque until next weekend, so don’t miss out.
