About the location (from Wiki):
The Art Gallery of New South Wales (AGNSW), located in The Domain in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, was established in 1897 and is the most important public gallery in Sydney and the fourth largest in Australia. Admission is free to the general exhibition space, which features Australian (from settlement to contemporary), European and Asian art. By the time the site was agreed upon in 1895, James Barnet had retired and the new Colonial Architect, Walter Liberty Vernon (1846–1914), was given the assignment. . Although the majority of Vernon’s buildings are in the Arts and Crafts style, the 1897 building was built in the classical tradition. The gallery’s design was conservative and was the penultimate example of the neo-Greek temple as a portico for a major public institution in Sydney. The design of the vestibule, by James Barnet, is reportedly “derived from Raphael’s Villa Madama in Rome (c. 1520). Here it is an especially fine and unusual example of design and detailing using Saunders’ yellowblock, for instance, in its cornices and arches.”
