Expressing the spirit of the main museum, the gift shop's selection of art and objects has been carefully curated to reflect the vibrant contemporary Australian art scene. A large section of the shop's offering is also devoted to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture, including books, gifts and striking artworks. Elsewhere you'll find a number of limited-edition pieces from some of contemporary art's biggest names, including David Shrigley and Grayson Perry.
