WHITE RABBIT ART GALLERY

Retained inside a building that operated as a Rolls-Royce service depot in the 1940s, this gallery holds the most noteworthy assortment of present-day Chinese art in the world. It opened in 2009 and is a dedicated space for 21st century artwork with over 2,500 pieces representing around 500 artists. But, given space constraints, it shows only about two new exhibitions annually. Judith Neilson, the owner, was inspired to create this after a field trip to Beijing. Neilson, who is part of one of Australia’s richest families, began the gallery to offer a fresh Chinese visual idiom to the community. Once you’re done sating your soul, do try the dumplings, Taiwanese tea and scones at the tiny café on the ground floor.
