QAG Store

Since GoMA opened nearly five years ago, the original Queensland Art Gallery tends to get overlooked. If you browse in the QAG now, you’ll be one of the only ones but it’s still full of some wonderful art — just not the contemporary kind. Because of this, the QAG store (which was already tucked away in a little corner) isn’t as busy as it once was and thus their quantity of stock has diminished.
The quality of their stock is still nice. They have lots of beautiful art books, postcards, calendars, notebooks, as well as some jewellery, knick-​knacks, and souvenirs. They don’t have as much stock as the GoMA shop, but they offer things you can’t get there. If you’re looking for a book about pre-​modern art, you’ll find it here rather than at the GoMA shop and that’s what keeps the QAG store relevant. Also, in the areas where their stock does overlap, if the GoMA shop is sold out the QAG store probably won’t be.
The QAG store has some comfy chairs where you can sit and look at their books, and it’s much quieter than the hectic GoMA shop so you can linger over the books for ages without being in the way.
