New Gallery to Rival the Louvre, Tate

The Sydney Modern, costing $230 million, is the city's largest cultural investment since the Opera House. It is a 21st-century museum running on renewable energy, enhancing Sydney's waterfront. Visitors can enjoy art in a unique setting, including an underground tank that was a WWII oil bunker. The gallery's vision took over a decade to realize, and with tourism reviving, its timing is ideal.
