The Art Gallery of New South Wales will adorn its walls with a number of never-before-seen in Australia old master European paintings as part of the Sydney International Art Series 2015-2016.

In a rare move, the Art Gallery of NSW will transfer its gallery space into a series of octagonal rooms, complete with sumptuous red walls – the traditional manner in which to hang old master artworks.

Featuring renowned artists such as Boticelli, Leonardo, Raphael, Poussin, Rembrandt, Turner and Monet, the exhibition will be opened on Saturday October 24 with a keynote lecture from Scottish National Gallery Director, Michael Clarke.

Throughout the exhibition there will be a number of guided tours, lecture series and late-night programs. More information on these can be found over at the Art Gallery of NSW website.

Tickets are available to buy online or at the Art Gallery of NSW when the exhibition opens on Saturday October 24. The exhibition will run until Sunday February 14.
