The Art Gallery of New South Wales began in the 1870s as an aspect of the Academy of Art. Later it became known as the National Art Gallery of NSW. This name persisted beyond Federation in 1901. It was given its present name in 1958.
It remains the principal collecting and exhibiting body in NSW and is governed by the Art Gallery of New South Wales Act of 1980.
Nutcote was the home of May Gibbs, creator of Australia’s loved characters Snugglepot & Cuddlepie, the Gumnut babies.
It is now a house museum where visitors can see where she worked. It also hosts special exhibitions.
The Sydney Children’s Hospital, formerly the Royal Alexandra Hospital for Children, has an extensive art collection and exhibition program.
