History

The Queensland Art Gallery was established in 1895 in the former Brisbane Town Hall in Queen Street. After a number of moves, it acquired its first purpose-built building on Stanley Street, South Brisbane in 1982. Another building on Stanley Street was constructed to house its Gallery of Modern Art; it opened in 2006. The buildings are part of the Queensland Cultural Centre precinct.
