FAQ

No, Gallery 16 does not come with AV, but you are very welcome to order it in.

Yes, guests can enter the Gallery via the main entrance on Mosely Street or the revolving door on Princess Street, which leads directly into the Atrium. There is ramp access at the Mosely Street entrance, an external lift at the Princess Street entrance, and passenger lifts for the Victorian Galleries; if guests go straight to the Atrium, no additional access is required after entering the building, and accessible toilets are available there.
