VERDICT

Contemporary creations that chime with the striking surrounds.

Recently pundits have begun theorizing about where is the best place for visitors to experience "new" Brisbane. They might mention The Calile Hotel precinct, or the humming riverfront destination of Howard Smith Wharves - and with reason. But if you're looking for a venue to show how long the current cultural renaissance has been unfolding, you can't bypass the Gallery of Modern Art and its culinary flagship.
