The Art Gallery of N

The Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney (the newly built North Wing) is divided into four floors, containing numerous works by artists from around the world and Australia, ranging from painting to installation art to video displays. My favorite exhibition in the new wing is the hands-on clay sculpture, where a huge tabletop is filled with clay balls shaped by other visitors. The entire venue is very quiet, with sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing one to enjoy the moment of tranquility. The soft and moist clay slowly changing in my palm is very relaxing.
