PICA (pee-kah) may look traditional – it's housed in an elegant 1896 red-brick former school – but inside it's one of Australia's principal platforms for contemporary art including installations, performance, sculpture and video. PICA actively promotes new and experimental art, and exhibits graduate works annually. From 10am from Tuesday to Sunday, the PICA Bar is a top spot for a coffee or cocktail, and has occasional live music.
