Loved this place! Was excited to see all the art exhibition and displays. A lot to look around and see. It was a big 3 story building but everything seemed compact and easy to discover as you walk around. Parking was good it has underground parking which is paid parking but gives you direct access to the gallery.

We will be going again.

A dedicated exhibition—similar to the Ter

The NGV is definitely a must-visit when you’re in Melbourne. The variety of art on display is incredible — from classic works to contemporary installations, Indigenous pieces, and international exhibitions. Every room offers something unique, and you can easily spend hours exploring without getting bored.

What I loved most was how thoughtfully everything was curated. The exhibitions had a clear flow, the descriptions were informative, and the overall vibe was calm and inspiring. The gallery spa
