The Shed Broken Hill — Attraction in Broken Hill

Such a welcoming, beautiful, and well presented space, like dropping in on an old friend. Surely the best new addition to the town since the railway museum opened.

What a shame to only discover this gem on the last day of our week in Broken Hill. We would have returned several times! So refreshing to see some genuine artistic talent without the twee bent that can dominate some galleries.

Caroline and Dirk go above and beyond to make every visitor feel welcomed and appreciated. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm smiles and a genuine sense of hospitality that sets the tone for a great experience.

The warm and friendly staff go out of their way to make everyone feel included, and the atmosphere encourages conversation, collaboration, and mutual support. Whether you're stopping in for a quality cup of coffee or to admire the latest artwork, you leave feeling uplifted and connected to something bigger. Well worth a visit to...
