Sydney – Perched on the East Coast of Australia, Sydney, is the capital.

Sydney, capital of New South Wales and one of Australia’s largest cities, is best known for the Sydney Opera House, a distinctive sail-shaped structure that stands near the harbor.

The huge Darling Harbour and the smaller Circular Quay, which are close to the Harbour Bridge and the prestigious Royal Botanic Gardens, are bustling harbors, while the Skywalk, the terrace of the Sydney Tower, offers 360-degree views of the city and suburbs.

Public art in the City of Sydney in New South Wales, Australia includes a wide range of works across a range of genres and for a range of purposes or combination of purposes.

Some are purely artistic, some are commemorative, some are both. Some are monuments or memorials; some are also fountains and some are site-specific.

In some buildings, such as Australia Square and Grosvenor Place by Harry Seidler as well as Aurora Place by Renzo Piano, the art is a component of the architect’s intentions.

Occasionally, works are removed or repositioned. The City of Sydney has a Public Art Policy and conservation work is carried on from time to time to maintain the works.

Darling Harbour was redeveloped from an industrial wharf to a major tourist and retail precinct in 1988, and is home to a number of major public facilities and attractions, including:
