- nicole tSydney, Australia1,119 contributionsA must do gallery in SydneyVery interesting independent gallery in Sydney. Always with different exhibitions across three. Free face to face and audio tours, as well as an interesting small gift shop and dumpling cafe. And it’s free!Visited December 2022Traveled with familyWritten December 28, 2022
- chloewebs79 contributionsGF + vegan option available, but disappointingVisited to see the exhibition and dumplings and tea, Beautiful space, with minimalist design. We visited to have dumplings and tea. They have a lunch time offer where you can get dumplings and a drink (including alcohol options) for only a little bit extra cost. They offer gluten free and vegan dumplings, however, I was disappointed to find out that you can only get 5 GF/vegan dumplings for the same price as 10 non-GF or vegan dumplings. This seems a bit of a shame, otherwise tasty, but just left hungry after a very small lunch of 5 dumplings.Visited December 2022Written January 12, 2023
- camjeffery135 contributionsA Great Gallery - Highly RecommendedThis is a very refreshing and interesting gallery. Great ideas and incredible curating etc. Not afraid to epxress ideas via art but very well balanced approach. The tea rooms etc. are great as to the range of items/books in the store. To round it off the staff are very friendly and enthusiastic - and a great location. Just a very short walk from Central Station. Highly commended and highly recommended. Unlikley to dissappoint.Visited July 2023Traveled with friendsWritten July 2, 2023
- OliviaMuswellbrook, Australia92 contributions2nd visit and did not disappoint-a hidden gemFantastic-my daughters bought me here a few years ago (after they came on a school excursion). Keep your mind open and absorb it all. I’m not an ‘art’ critique or follower, but I appreciate the stories and perspectives this gallery offers. The cafe is out of this world as well, a real gem. If anything, having a tea and something to eat is a fantastic way to end the trip. I took hubby on this trip and he loved it. Staff were so good, from the staff who are supervising the artworks to the fantastic cafe staff, they couldn’t be more helpful. We will return. It’s a fabulous asset to people.Visited July 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten July 12, 2023

The trick is on the weekends, get here before it opens, there will still be a queue but you will wait minutes not an hour to get in. It is 3 floors so we decided to start at the top and walk down. At the moment the exhibition is ‘Lumen’ and will be on until November 2021 and is fabulous. There is a number of interactive pieces, perfect for the young and the young at heart. Entrance is free. The staff are friendly and helpful, so ask questions. The only problem is they only take credit cards in the gift shop. This is truly a must see gallery.

Such an amazing gallery in the heart of Sydney. The exhibits are spectacular, we visited "For Now". The exhibition was mesmerizing and peaceful, creating warmth ignited by the passion and dedication of the artists. The venue was doing a great job of social distancing and limited entrances to ensure patrons could freely move around the gallery and enjoy the exhibits. You also cannot visit the gallery without a trip to the tea house afterwards and enjoy a selection of teas and tasting plates.

Very nice contemporary Chinese art works with exhibitions that change from time to time, view their website for that information and more.
The staff aren’t in your face & special mention to staff member Peter with the very cool Air Jordan sneakers on, he was so accommodating, knew lots of details about that current exhibition and gave us clear advice on how to navigate the gallery during our first visit.
The cafe is great and the gift shop has interesting items to buy.
We’ll be back for sure :)

Came to visit their new exhibition ‘I loved you’ which is now on till 21Nov22. Love my visits here, consists of 3 storey in a small build up showcasing Chinese contemporary art. Your visit will not be complete without visiting the tea house for a freshly brewed tea and steaming dumplings. Put this on your to do list, moreover its free admission

A FREE museum full of very interesting art. Judith Neilson supports and has organised something special to come visit and it is also in a fun part of town to check out. I wouldn't miss if you are in the area.

A Gallery in Sydney for Chinese art only. Not quite sure how in this day and age a business can operate like this. Treading the line between being a specialist gallery and Racist to all none Chinese artists. I dont know how a gallery would be percieved if it were run under the guise of being for white anglo's only? Pretty sure it would be percieved to be racist too.
