The Australian Centre on China in the World (CIW) Gallery serves CIW's core mission of “understanding China" by exhibiting artwork from across the Chinese world — the People’s Republic of China, Taiwan and the Chinese diaspora. 

The CIW Art Collection includes diverse works in a variety of mediums ranging from glass, photography, and prints, to furniture, maps, posters, calligraphy, and sculpture. Displayed throughout the centre, these works provide an exquisite complement to the award-winning architectural design of the CIW building.
