AGWA building guided tours

Examine the Brutalist icon of Perth’s Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA) up close with a guided tour of architect Charles Sierakowski’s handiwork. First opened in 1979, the building was acknowledged as a dramatic example of late Brutalist architecture, displaying “robust textures and expansive concrete forms” symbolising modernity and progress. This free tour is held by voluntary gallery guides at 2pm on the second Saturday of each month.
