🎨 Murringo Barracks Art Gallery | 🖌️ Artist, Therese Crowe

Step inside the original 1880s police barracks in the historic village of Murringo and discover the Murringo Barracks Art Gallery—where stories of the past and the creativity of the present sit side by side.

Built in 1880 and once the official police station and courthouse for Murringo, this beautifully preserved heritage building now houses a professional gallery and working studio space run by artist Therese Crowe. It’s a destination that celebrates both art and history, inviting visitors to slow down, explore, and reconnect with the Australian landscape through expressive and emotionally charged works.

Therese Crowe is an established landscape artist whose work has featured in major exhibitions and collections across the country. Her paintings are known for their sense of movement, mood, and deep connection to the land. From soft mists and moody skies to vivid bush scenes and vast open plains, her brushwork captures the essence of rural life. At Murringo Barracks Art Gallery, you can meet the artist, see her studio, and view her latest works firsthand in the very rooms that once served as a charge room and courtroom.

Located just 20 minutes from Young in the NSW Hilltops region, the gallery is set on a 300-acre working sheep farm and surrounded by rolling hills, peaceful gardens, and classic country charm. It’s a must-visit destination for lovers of art, heritage, and rural landscapes, offering an experience that’s both grounded and inspiring.
