Allport Library & Museum of Fine Arts

The State Library is home to this excellent collection of rare books on the Australia-Pacific region, as well as colonial paintings, antiques, photographs, manuscripts, decorative arts and furniture. Special exhibits get dusted off for display several times a year, and there are monthly talks and seminars. Marvellously nerdy and interesting.
