Renowned for its thriving arts scene, it’s not surprising that Melbourne is home to more than 100 galleries, ranging from large public institutions to smaller commercial galleries and artist-run initiatives. Often heralded as the cultural capital of Australia, you cannot complete a trip to Melbourne without a visit to one of their many striking and inspiring galleries.
Located in Federation Square is the world’s first major public gallery dedicated to Australian art – the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV). Boasting close to 25,000 works of paintings, sculptures prints, photography and textiles, the NGV can’t be missed. Even the building itself is a work of art, with the slate exterior enveloped by cascading water. Also located in Federation Square is ACMI, one of the world’s leading moving image centres. Expect to see cutting-edge video art and creative uses of digital media.
