Milestone of more than 10 million visitors to both sites since the opening of coma QAGOMA is the official host for selected events for the G20 World Leaders' Summit. 'It is not only a deposit for the collection and exhibition of our art works, it is a store where the walls and barriers of the Gallery are broken down, where there is a constant source of interchange between the art world and the public.' 'The duality of the design approach for coma is that the architecture is impressive and monumental without losing its openness and freshness, and without being intimidating international yet responsive to local conditions and the southeast Queensland context. By adopting this approach the architects propose to realism one of the Gallery's maximum important aims to place the institution in the public experience of the city.' Lindsay and Kerry Clare, architect's statement. Since 1993, the APT series has drawn more than three million visitors with its unique combine of visual spectacle and irritable cultural insight.
