Fremantle Arts Centre
In a striking neo-Gothic 1860s building built by convicts as a lunatic asylum, the Fremantle Arts Centre contains some of Western Australia's best contemporary arts-and-crafts galleries, with a constantly changing array of works and exhibitions. You can buy local craftwork and Australian art books and literature, while the leafy courtyard cafe is ideal for a quiet break from sightseeing. There's free "Courtyard Music" October to April every Sunday 2-4pm, with numerous other concerts during summer (check the website for details).
