Australia’s best outdoor art galleries
Australia’s outdoor galleries transform landscapes into brilliant art experiences — blending creativity, culture, and nature in breathtaking locations.
Museum of Underwater Art
Museum of Underwater Art
One of the most unique ways to experience art in Australia is underwater. The Southern Hemisphere’s only submerged exhibition, the Museum of Underwater Art, can be found tucked within our World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. Board a charter from Townsville to snorkel or dive among sculptures that evolve with marine life – an unforgettable way to connect with the reef's delicate ecosystem.
Uluru light shows
Uluru light shows
As night falls, Uluru becomes a canvas for light, art, and storytelling across multiple experiences, many of which showcase and celebrate local Anangu culture. Field of Light illuminates the desert with 50,000 glowing stems, mirroring the endless desert sky. The Wintjiri Wiru experience sees drones take to the stars in an artistic expression of an ancestral Dreaming story, and as dawn breaks, Sunrise Journeys reveals a laser-projected artwork celebrating the cultural significance of the land.
Silo Trails
Silo Trails
Scattered through outback landscapes, towering silos and water towers have been transformed into works of art, sharing the stories of our regional communities. The Public Silo Trail in Western Australia boasts large-scale murals showcasing local heritage and wildlife. Further east, the Silo Art Trail in Victoria is our largest outdoor gallery, featuring portraits of the people and histories that shape the region. Head out on a road trip to follow the creations through beautiful and unexpected places.
Sculpture by the Sea
Sculpture by the Sea
Sculpture by the Sea transforms the coastline of Sydney’s Bondi Beach into an open-air gallery, with large-scale sculptures by artists from around the world sprinkled along the coast. What began as a one-day exhibition along the Bondi to Coogee coastal walk has grown into the world’s largest, free outdoor sculpture event, with thought-provoking designs rising from the sand and cliffs.
Giants of Mandurah
Giants of Mandurah
About an hour’s drive from Perth you’ll find the Giants of Mandurah scattered across the landscape, standing as guardians of nature and ancient storytellers. Created by Danish artist Thomas Dambo and hidden in bushland, wetlands, and coastal dunes, each giant reflects themes of sustainability, community, and Indigenous storytelling. The trail encourages visitors to journey through Noongar Boodja (Noongar Country), inviting exploration, respect, and a deeper cultural connection.
The Sculpture Park
The Sculpture Park
Set among rolling vineyards with sweeping views of the Mornington Peninsula’s Western Port, The Sculpture Park at Pt. Leo Estate is home to over 70 large-scale sculptures. This ever-evolving gallery features works by renowned Australian and international artists. With the estate’s award-winning winery and restaurant nearby, you can take a stroll to soak up the art, followed by a luxuriously long lunch.
Inside Australia
Inside Australia
Set against the otherworldly expanse of Lake Ballard in Western Australia, “Inside Australia” is a unique and hauntingly beautiful gallery. Created by British sculptor Antony Gormley, this incredible installation features 51 metal figures, each inspired by the people of the remote local town. Spread across the salt lake’s shimmering surface, the sculptures appear like a mirage on the horizon as they shift with the light.
