John Murray Art Gallery

Absolutely wonderful gallery! Gorgeous country/rural themed artworks with his unique sense of humour. You can probably get through the display in 10 mins or so, it's quite small, however if you're an art enthusiast you'll probably be in there longer. You aren't allowed to take photos inside the gallery however there's plenty of his art outside the building and around lightning ridge. Free to get in and have a look, also a good range of cards, prints, signed prints etc for sale - the hardest part is just choosing one or two to buy! Easy to find off and you can park along the street quite easily. A must do if you're in the area.

John Murray's art resonates with Australians. We love it. Iconic,funny, witty and beautiful detail. If only I had more money. The piece behind the counter takes first place for me. I fell in love with it

It's not a matter of will I or won't I bother to go for a visit as you mightn't be that much into art. It's that good, one should go to Lightning Ridge just to check it out. Make sure you take money/cards as there is something for all tastes and budgets

Absolutely fantastic art gallery. A must do when visiting Lightning Ridge. The gallery was impressive from the entrance to inside. Jeff also has done a number of street art around the town

I love his quintessential love of the bush, great helpful staff in this great gallery!

Incredibly talented! Worth stopping for a look.In fact all around town you can spy beautiful art work and you can tell the locals are proud of this work. Very funky ally way just outside the gallery.

Review updated June 2022. Very good local artist. Does terrific work. Australian Bush and humour themes. His works are in murals around town and Vicki's work features in the gallery as well. Well worth the visit, pieces changing always.

We had such an uplifting time here and wish we could have purchased many of the pieces. The lovely person at the desk was delightful. The work is clever, beautiful and truly Australian. Highly recommend a visit while in Lightning Ridge.

Absolutely amazing artwork and colourful.
