Silly Season, Art After Hours, Gallery open until 9pm every Wednesday

Shop Items from The Gallery Shop, AGNSW

This Christmas, forget battling crowds in department stores, listening to Bing Crosby's White Christmas and waiting hours in line for free gift wrapping.

Instead, visit the Art Gallery of New South Wales for all your Christmas shopping, a glass of wine, some jazz and Christmas carols, maybe meet a hot date and view the Caravaggio exhibition - all in the one evening.

Every Wednesday night, throughout December, Art After Hours has a full programme of free events to complement Christmas shopping at the Gallery. Enjoy a free concert in the Old Courts or gain a unique insight into the dark world of Caravaggio with a free guided tour.

The Gallery's shop offers a range of gifts for the whole family including posters of iconic artworks, jewellery, art books and clothing. All gifts will be wrapped free of charge.
