New Dining, Galleries, Museums and Music across Australia in 2023

While not traditionally famous as an art-connoisseur’s mecca, Australia is home to a feast for all the creative senses this year, with multiple gallery openings, new museum exhibitions, live music performances and experience-driven bar/restaurant openings.

There’s something new for everyone to appreciate this year in Australia, from culinary arts to musical performances and visual arts galore, 2023 is the year to give new meaning to the term “escape artist.”
