Opened on 2 December 2006, the GOMA is Australia's largest gallery of modern and contemporary art.

In July 2002, Sydney-based company Architectus was commissioned by the Queensland Beattie Government following an Architect Selection Competition, to design the Queensland Art Gallery's second site, the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA).

A main theme of Architectus's design was a pavilion in the landscape, one which assumes its position as both hub and anchor for this important civic precinct.

Critical to this is the building's response to the site, its natural topography, existing patterns of urban generation, and the river.
