ACCA is one of Australia’s most exciting and challenging contemporary galleries, showcasing a range of local and international artists. The building is fittingly sculptural, with a rusted exterior evoking the factories that once stood on the site, and a soaring interior designed to house massive installations. Join a free Sunday tour at 3pm at the main gallery; no bookings required.
