The Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre is housed in a large, modern, architecturally award-winning building with views to Wollumbin/Mount Warning.

The Gallery’s seven exhibition spaces present a dynamic program of historical to contemporary touring exhibitions, alongside exhibitions showcasing the work of regional, national and international artists.

The Margaret Olley Art Centre celebrates the career, life and legacy of Margaret Olley, Australia’s most celebrated painter of still life and interiors.

The Gallery also includes a workshop and education space, research library, the Gallery Shop and the Gallery Café offering panoramic views of the Tweed River.

For more information please visit artgallery.tweed.nsw.gov.au

The Tweed Regional Museum Murwillumbah is located in the original Shire Council Chambers of 1915.

The award winning multi-million dollar extension and refurbishment of the facility restored the Chambers to its former glory and now flows into a spacious and modern exhibition area.

Vibrant permanent displays bring the Tweed’s history to life through stories of our past. Changing displays showcase the Tweed Regional Museum collection, along with contemporary stories about places, events and people significant to the Tweed community.
