Currently two exhibitions. One by First Nations people the other depicting Martha one of the first LGBT+ advocates of USA bu Florence. Incredible spaces. Very charming art advisor at reception. Three months / exhibition more or less with the venue coming available for events on between set ups... great spot for a corporate event or similar. Ask for Badra

Free art gallery with international and local contemporary artists. Each exhibition is curated thoughtfully and designed beautifully. Take tram 01 and stop at Grant St for best route!
**★★★★★ Tomas Orrego — 6 months ago
It’s a fantastic space, starting with a building that feels like a piece of art itself — bold, striking volumes that catch your eye instantly. ACCA is free to enter, and inside you’ll find beautiful installations and thoughtfully designed spaces, plus a shop with fascinating contemporary art books. The gallery has a magnetic pull — the works, the atmosphere, everything breathes contemporary art at its finest. 💥
🌟 Pro Tip: Don’t hesitate to ask the staff anything — they are, without exaggeration

Free entry is great. However content may or may not be of personal interest since exhibition change from time to time. As a tourist, I just enjoy what’s on display. Staffs are very friendly. Love the architectural and the details around the building.

Australia Centre of Contemporary Art, Melbourne: That’s how I feel about the art curation at ACCA. We made a beeline for this from NGV as we were close to closing time and regret sunk deep. Architecture is stunning and layered – the changing geometric lines and angles tease as you approach the compound from different angles but that’s about it. The curation was sub-par and we thought it was an absolute waste of a good space. #eatstylishtravelstylish
