Andy Warhol Exhibit is at the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art

December 22, 2007

Yesterday I went to see the Andy Warhol exhibit at the GoMA (Queensland Gallery of Modern Art). The GoMA is a brand new multi-million dollar building that is part of the state's cultural centre, centred along the south bank of the Brisbane River.

Firstly, as it was a state government funded exhibit, I expected it to be free, but like the museum, I was wrong, it cost $20 for an adult, $16 concession. Works have been brought in from galleries all over the world for this exhibit that runs through to the 30th March 2008, so you still have plenty of time to go see it. It's actually pretty impressive that a little country town was able to put such an exhibit on display, it just goes to show you that Brisbane is growing up.

If you need a way to entertain children for a day, I would recommend visiting the exhibit, there are about half a dozen activities to keep them occupied in the theme of Andy's various works. One is a photo booth where you can make pictures like the one of me shown below.



Before you visit, you should download the audio tour from the gallery website and put it on your DAP (such as a phone or iPod). I didn't do this as I didn't know about it beforehand.
