The National Gallery of Australia (formerly Australian National Gallery) is the national art museum of Australia as well as one of the largest art museums in Australia, holding more than 166,000 works of art.

It was established in 1967 by the Australian government as a national public art gallery.

The National Gallery of Australias collections of works span across four main areas: Australian art, Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander art, Asian art and European and American art.

Works in the Gallery are part of Australias national collection. They belong to the people of Australia and are preserved and presented for their enjoyment and education. It is the Gallerys intention to make the collection as widely appreciated as possible both in Australia and overseas.
