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

The gallery was a bit smaller than expected but had interesting and enjoyable exhibitions. Friendly staff and gender-neutral restrooms are definitely what makes you smile here. The exhibitions change over time so check the website beforehand to see if you'd be interested or not.

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.

Visit the ACCA for the first time. There were only 2 exhibitions, and both were small but quite interesting. The exhibitions change quite frequently, so will be checking frequently a gently for future events. Entry is free.

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
