I wish the AGNSW would exhibit the artwork in their storage somewhere.

We had the Contemporary Gallery down the road, but no, we had to waste money on a new building for Contemporary art.

My aunt used to be an exhibition guide at the AGNSW, if she was still around, she'd be heartbroken to see what's happening.

I'd like to think you're right, John, but the NSW govt. seems determined to take the plunge into the abyss.
