raglan art gallery and cultural centre

A delightful historic building set in a beautiful old garden. The gallery has a great range of art and gifts in a price range to suit all budgets. Well worth a visit.

I go through Cooma often and always try to go to the Raglan Gallery to see the exhibit being shown. The building is an old inn on historic Lambie Street and there are many beautiful old buildings on the street. This gallery is run by dedicated volunteers and it is easy to see the love and attention given to the building and gardens. The last exhibit I saw was paintings from local artists and some artists from the South Coast of NSW. There were many impressive art works. They also have a few items for sale in addition to the exhibited art. Entry is by gold coin donation. Exhibitions change frequently so visits are always different. If you enjoy art you will enjoy this great little gallery.

This gallery is a must see for everyone, whether they be visiting Cooma, or simply passing through. Housed in one of Cooma's oldest heritage buildings, the gallery offers a range of interesting exhibitions throughout the year, featuring both local artists and artists from further afield. When I visited, there was an exhibition of miniature paintings - all exquisitely detailed, and priced between $140 - $200. There was also a range of handcrafted gifts, cards and books. The gardens are also stunning.
