Sculptures Take Over Bondi Beach for the 2026 Exhibition

Posted on

If you are looking for breathtaking coastal views paired with world-class contemporary art, Bondi Beach is the place to be right now. Australia’s iconic surf spot has once again transformed into the world’s largest free public outdoor sculpture gallery for the 2026 Sculpture by the Sea Exhibition.

Stretching across a stunning 1.25-mile coastal path, the annual exhibition showcases dozens of captivating installations by local and international artists. From striking geometric abstractions to playful, thought-provoking representational pieces, the diverse array of works blends seamlessly into Sydney’s dramatic seaside cliffs and golden sands.
