National Gallery of Victoria

Founded in 1861, the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) is Australia’s oldest and most visited art museum.

Located in the heart of Melbourne, the NGV spans two iconic buildings – NGV International and NGV Australia – where you can explore a world-class collection of more than 76,000 artworks.

The NGV offers a rich tapestry of cultural experiences that span centuries, continents, and artistic styles. Whether you’re drawn to contemporary installations, fashion exhibitions, classical masterpieces, or First Nations art, the gallery is a vibrant celebration of creativity in all its forms.

You can also enjoy exclusive experiences such as the Private Gallery Dinner: The Banquet of Cleopatra, where you’ll dine beneath one of the NGV’s most celebrated paintings, surrounded by art, music, and fine cuisine. For a deeper connection to Indigenous culture, the First Nations Art from the NGV Collection experience offers a bespoke viewing of the Gallery’s First Nations collection, paired with exclusive access to the conservation department, normally closed to the public. Through this privileged encounter, you’ll gain rare insights into storytelling through art and the preservation of these works.

From art lovers to the simply curious, the National Gallery of Victoria invites everyone to explore the power of visual storytelling from Australia and beyond.
