QAGOMA Store — Local services in Brisbane City

The exhibit was wonderful. I went with a group of friends and had tickets for the last viewing of the day, which was shorter than all the rest but the charge was the same? And then security were incredibly rude, intrusive and pushy, about the gallery closing; when you go to see an exhibit called, "The Soul Trembles", you need a few moments at the end to process it. There were a number of videos in the exhibit that we didn't get to watch either, because we felt rushed for time. The final session, if shorter than others, should have been cheaper, or the staff more lenient about closing time - clear the free exhibits first, then the paid - and don't give a group the stink eye because one of us is in the loo?? What, should we have left without them? Hmmm. I can understand wanting to head home on a Sunday afternoon, but the way we were spoken to was unnecessary, abrupt and abrasive. A shame, it was very jarring after the contemplative atmosphere of the exhibit and discoloured my entire impression of the experience. Just glad I took photos to look back...

Like the other reviewer said, there's 3 different gift stores: One outside GOMA; one near the water mall of QAG (ground-level); & one up the top of QAG...

In my opinion, the better two are the QAG stores. The ground-level store sells modern, cute stuff. The top store sells beautiful soaps, stationery, quirky cards, wonderful books, & sweet gifts. I love exploring these stores.

The GOMA store is quite a rip-off to be realistic, but it has some weird stuff that might intrigue tourists or make whacky gifts.

My favourite store of all is the gift shop on the top level of QAG. It's worth a look - because it smells divine, & everything...

2/10 artworks are amazing....rest of the artworks are worse than what a 6 year old can do.....the curating is the worst and the curators must be high on ice or meth when they select them.....the least inspiring place for an artist... im surprised when the gallery pays for blank canvases ... it puts really hard working artists to shame..... I need my 22 dollars and 2 hours back in my life.....the problem is that people don't speak up how bad the artworks are and that's why they are being exhibited...on one side there are amazing renissance and 19th century artworks that are crafted to perfection and then there are artworks done by...
