National Gallery of Victoria

National Gallery of Victoria Information

The National Gallery of Victoria has two magnificent galleries located a short walk apart - both with free entry to the permanent collection. Victorians and visitors can now enjoy two public art galleries within one magnificent arts precinct.

Stretching from the top of St Kilda Road across the Yarra River to Federation Square, this cultural heartland encompasses the transformed NGV International on St Kilda Road, The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia at Federation Square, and The Arts Centre - all just a short stroll from each other.

NGV International at 180 St Kilda Road, Melbourne.

A whole world of international art - displaying the NGV's collections of European, Asian, Oceanic and American Art. Since the NGV opened in St Kilda Road in 1968, the total collection has doubled in size to more than 70,000 works of art. A truly iconic Melbourne building, the gallery has been totally redesigned to house one of the most impressive collections in the Southern Hemisphere.

The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia at Federation Square

Home to Australian art with superb collections of Australian Indigenous and non-Indigenous art from the Colonial period to the present day. With more Australian art on permanent display than any other gallery in the world, as well as special exhibitions and programs, cafes, a restaurant and a new perspective of the city through its glass matrix, NGV Australia is more than a great place to view art. It's a completely fresh approach that encourages people from all walks of life to enjoy the world of art within the new cultural heart of Melbourne.
