Experience the power of art and ignite your imagination.

Here at the National Gallery, we believe in life-long learning through art. We offer a diverse array of programs and experiences to spark your curiosity and connection with artists and ideas.

Our learning programs are inclusive and accessible, created for audiences across Australia. We are committed to making art and creative experiences available for everyone, with opportunities to connect onsite at the Gallery, online and on tour through our travelling exhibition programs.

Wherever your place, our programs invite you to experience art, connect with artists, debate ideas, make and create, share your story and join a conversation.

Learning programs are made possible with the support of  Learning & Digital Patron Tim Fairfax AC.
