The Art Gallery of NSW
Reframing a cultural icon for the future
Established in 1871, the Art Gallery of New South Wales (AGNSW) is one of Australia’s most iconic art museums. Located in Sydney’s Domain with views across the harbour, the Gallery’s varied collection includes colonial and 19th century Australian works, European old masters, dedicated galleries celebrating the arts of Asia and a major collection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art.
A new building designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architects SANAA is set to open in 2022, doubling the Gallery’s size. This most significant development, and the AGNSW’s 150th anniversary in 2021, initiated a refresh of its visual identity. Mucho was selected from a list of distinguished local and international studios to partner with the Gallery’s in-house design team on the project.
