Arts, culture and music in Sydney

Blockbuster exhibitions, museums showcasing Aboriginal heritage, convict and colonial days, seafaring history and interactive science displays at various Sydney venues will capture your interest whatever it is.

There are also many, small galleries around the inner city featuring the best photographic, video and avant-garde art from local and international artists. And the performing arts attract audiences to thrilling shows in venues as iconic as the Sydney Opera House or the Sydney Theatre Company’s home base at Walsh Bay.

Near-perfect weather and accessible parks and gardens provide the backdrop to outdoor performances from Shakespeare to opera and popular music events.
