Let's have a look at our new space at AGNSW（Sydney Modern Project 1）

The 344 million dollar project launched in 2013 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Art Gallery of NSW. It's been said that this is the most significant art venue since the Sydney Opera House. Let's ask four Japanese AGNSW volunteer guides about this project. This is the first interview of five.

The new building was designed by a Japanese architectual firm SANAA. In the audio, Mikiko Hasasaki, one of the Japanese volunteer guides at AGNSW, explains about the building and its significance.

The new building opened for the public on the 3rd of this month.
