Sydney: What to See & Do: Museums & Galleries: Brett Whiteley Studio

Brett Whiteley Studio

To get a fascinating insight into one of Australia’s most notorious artists, drop by the Brett Whiteley Studio, a former T-shirt factory in Surry Hills that the painter—who died in 1992 after a passionate and troubled life—had converted to his workplace and home. His sensibility is uniquely Australian (some of his best works depict the stunning light and vibrancy of Sydney), and his works fetch record prices at auction. Open Saturday and Sunday only.
