International Study Tours
Keen to deepen your art knowledge and stimulate your creativity?
International Study Tours are designed for independent, curious travellers with a spirit of adventure.
Inspired by the Art Gallery's collection and exhibitions, each curated program is developed by specialists to include special access to museums and studios, and hands-on, immersive experiences.
Designed for a maximum of 15 travellers and jumping on public transport where possible, each tour takes you into the fine grain of the cities and towns that gave birth to art movements, artforms and artists.
International Study Tours are open to all, with discounted prices for members. Every booking helps support the Art Gallery of New South Wales and its programs.

I’d like to thank Kathryn and Jun for their excellent guidance (aesthetic, spiritual, cultural and geographic!) on the tour. In all those senses, they very much got us there. I’d also thank everyone for being such good companions on our adventure.
A wonderful experience all round.
