Talk:Art Gallery of New South Wales

The Defense of Rorke's Drift painting
Is this painting by Alphonse-Marie-Adolphe de Neuville as written there (and elsewhere) or by Elizabeth Butler as claimed on Elizabeth Butler and elsewhere on the 'net ? I tried to check JSTOR and found an article talking about "The Defense of Rorke's Drift, January 22nd, 1889" by Lady Butler. I'm assuming it's this one but could someone please confirm ? If there is a mistake many pages that use this pic will have to be corrected. Perhaps if someone is near this gallery, where the painting is now, he could confirm the authorship as given by the gallery. --Alþykkr (talk) 22:35, 27 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Nevermind, found my own answer (apparently). There are two "The Defense of Rorke's Drift" paintings, one by Butler and one by Neuville, and this one is by Neuville. The Elizabeth Butler article shows the wrong one (by Neuville), correcting now. --Alþykkr (talk) 22:44, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Please expand
''The gallery's design was conservative and was the penultimate example of the neo-Greek temple as a portico for a major public institution in Sydney. '' OK! This is the "penultimate" example. "Penultimate" demands that you tell us what the last example was. Everybody wants to know (well, I do, anyway). I have no doubt that the source tells you, or else that word would not have been used.

Merger proposal
I propose that Asian Gallery New South Wales Art Gallery be merged into Art Gallery of New South Wales building section. I think that the content in the Asian Gallery article can easily be explained in the context of the AGNSW, and the AGNSW article is of a reasonable size that the merging of the Asian Gallery article will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned.

 * In the absence of feedback, the articles were merged today. Rangasyd (talk) 04:35, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
