Darlinghurst Gaol and National Art School Tours

Darlinghurst Gaol and National Art School Tours

Please note Gaol and Campus Tours are currently unavailable.

Please see the Galleries page for up to date information on exhibitions. The NAS Cafe and Art Bar are also open to the public.

The site of the former Darlinghurst Gaol and the National Art School is one of Australia’s oldest and best-preserved examples of colonial sandstone architecture, which over the last two centuries has transformed from a place of abject misery to one of Australia’s premier art institutes. According to legend, the building is haunted by the restless ghosts of some of the 76 people including bushrangers, the ‘demon dentist’ and men and women who were executed at the gaol’s gallows.
