I had a bit of spare time yesterday, so I decided on impulse to go to the Geelong Art Gallery. It had been years since I was there, and it was like going for the first time. I was surprised that there was no entry fee, just a request for a gold coin donation. The staff were super friendly and helpful with information on the current temporary exhibitions. I saw a print exhibition and a beautiful exhibition of glass sculptures. I mostly enjoyed the various rooms housing the permanent paintings. There was one abstract painting in particular that I fell in love with. There is something for everyone's taste as the collection is so varied. I could have spent hours there. I spent a short time admiring the items in the gift shop too. I am looking forward to visiting again when the next exhibition comes.

It's always very calming in the gallery with heaps to see, from special exhibits of paintings to sculpture and varied collections. Just when you think you've seen enough, you go further into the back rooms and there's still more!
