Art Gallery of South Australia

This gallery contains one of the nation's most comprehensive collections of Australian, Asian and European art, including paintings by great colonial and contemporary Australian artists. There's a collection of Southeast Asian ceramics, a display of decorative arts, and the world's second-largest collection of Rodin sculptures.

The free audio-tour of the Australian collection is very insightful, as are the guided tours which are run twice daily. These, too, are free of charge. Peruse the great bookshop and indulge your other senses at the top-notch cafe with a menu inspired by the current exhibition.
