With its lake views and art-infused settings, the National Gallery is Canberra’s most iconic venue, ideal for your special event.
Home to the largest collection of art in Australia, the Gallery is committed to sharing the wonder of art and creativity. Its striking Brutalist building with its versatile settings and spectacular Sculpture Garden provides a memorable and dramatic backdrop for any kind of function.
The National Gallery of Australia caters to events of all sizes and styles — weddings, formal gala dinners, cocktail parties, conferences and workshops, as well as corporate meetings and private functions. With an array of spaces, including the newly refurbished James Fairfax Theatre, this venue can accommodate anywhere from 20 to 900 guests.
A marquee nestled in the gardens, the Sculpture Garden Pavillion is perfect for intimate gatherings, from luncheons to Christmas parties, with catering taken care of by NGA's exclusive partners Restaurant Associates.
Surrounded by sculptures on the banks of Lake Burley Griffin, the Pavillion is ideal for a wedding ceremony or inspired photo shoot. And the wow factor? Greet your guests as fog from Fujiko Nakaya’s Foggy wake in a desert: An ecosphere floats through the casuarinas.
Current venue capacity is 40 guests seated and 80 guests cocktail style. The Pavillion is not easily accessible for people with limited mobility, and the nearby toilets are not accessible.
