Frommer's Review
Home to more than 100,000 works of art, the National Gallery showcases Australian and international art in 11 galleries, including a permanent one and traveling blockbuster exhibitions from international collections. The free 1-hour guided tours are brilliant and depart daily at 11am and 2pm -- you can choose to focus on either international or Australian works. On Sunday and Thursday at 11am and 2pm, a free tour focuses on Aboriginal art. A sculpture garden surrounding the gallery has 24 sculptures and is always open to the public.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
