The Art Gallery itself is composed of two exhibition areas and due to its scale is often the preferred venue for temporary and touring exhibitions in virtually every artistic medium. Recently, contemporary exhibitions have included 'Game On' a look back over the history of video games and evolution and influence to one of the most popular sectors of the modern society. 'Exodus', a recent exhibit of more than 350 black and white photographs by acclaimed Brazilian photographer Sebastiao Salgado was a recent success. The pictures won admiration for their accurate portrayal of the human cost of major political incidents.
