Broken Hill Regional Art Gallery is the oldest regional art gallery in New South Wales. It was established in 1904 through the efforts of Dr Brian James Booth and following the bequest of three major artworks by Mr George McCulloch, one of the founders of Broken Hill Propriety Limited (BHP). The bequest included Lynmouth, North Devon, 1867 by James Webb, After the Bath, 1890, by Harriette Sutcliffe and Memories, 1891 by John William Godward RBA.
The Gallery is housed in the historic Sully’s Emporium near the centre of the city and features an annual program of locally curated exhibitions along with touring exhibitions from major cultural institutions. A selection of works from the collection is on permanent display in the upstairs gallery. The annual program also includes work by established and emerging Aboriginal artists from around the Far West region of New South Wales. The building is fully accessible with free parking at the rear and is close to restaurants and accommodation.
Entry by donation.
