Australian Design Centre

This place was amazing

Great art and great pieces to look at and even buy

You can lease Of the area and run workshops which were being run today.

Great designs well displayed and the gallery at self is well located on William Street and easy to get to either by car or public transport.

Would recommend a visit to be inspired

Three galleries with changing shows and a wonderful retail store bursting with handmade gorgeous present ideas. Lovers of unique jewellery and ceramics drop in here.

Excellent space championing local makers, designers and artists of all kinds.

An excellent organisation that has supported and advocated for Australian design for decades.

Loved the exhibition of 'Happy Objects'.

Interesting design gallery with a beautiful gift shop

An unexpected delight. A NFP design centred space with regular thought provoking exhibitions. I want the igloo shelf for my WFH space!

Small but perfectly functional space. The Joshua Smith exhibition was great!

What is the point of this place? It’s two small rooms with nothing to see. I dragged my partner to a so called tapestry “exhibition”. There were 2 tapestries. There were more paragraphs in the description of the “exhibition” than there were tapestries. Now I may be partially at fault for having any interest in tapestries and that’s on me. But it was a total waste of time and a complete (but admittedly hilarious) farce. I will never go to this place again. No one should. But then again if you’re into the ironic and masochistic sort of fun thing - it’s probably worth a stroll. Put aside 30 or so seconds. It’s all you’ll need.
