The National Gallery of Victoria

The National Gallery of Victoria, popularly known as the NGV, is an art museum in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It is Australia's oldest and most visited art museum, having been established in 1861. The NGV has an encyclopedic art collection spread across two locations: NGV International on St Kilda Road in Melbourne's Southbank Arts Precinct, and the Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia close in Federation Square. Sir Roy Grounds built the NGV International building, which opened in 1968 and was refurbished by Mario Bellini before reopening in 2003. It is on the Victorian Heritage Register and holds the gallery's worldwide art collection. Lab Architecture Studio built the Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia, which opened in 2002 and contains the gallery's Australian art collection. The NGV Contemporary, Australia's largest contemporary gallery, is scheduled to open in 2028.

It is Australia's oldest and most visited art museum, having been established in 1861. As you walk through the archway and behind the water wall to the Great Hall, you'll get a feeling of the NGV's scale and architectural significance. The National Gallery of Victoria is Australia's oldest and most visited art gallery, housing almost 73,000 works of art between the main gallery and The Ian Potter Centre. Tom Roberts' Shearing the Rams is one of the most iconic pieces of art. Temporary exhibitions, such as Melbourne Winter Masterpieces, are also held at the NGV.
