The Art Gallery of NSW's new building has opened its doors to the public and visitors will find more than half the work inside is by women.
The venue, part of the $344 million Sydney Modern Project, is the most significant cultural development in the city since the opening of the Opera House in 1973.
Declaring the extension officially open on Saturday morning, NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet described it as "a major investment in art, artists and culture that will attract the world's biggest touring art exhibitions to Sydney, the nation's cultural capital".
