Following the blaze of the Victorian Gold Rush of 1850, the National Gallery of Victoria was established, and it is now renowned for being Australia's oldest and largest art museum. Fondly known as the NGV, the museum boasts an all-encompassing art collection spanning across two loci - NGV International on St Kilda Road, and the Ian Potter Centre at Federation Square.

The NGV's local art collection allows one to immerse in the diverse Australian art scene, comprising of ethnic Aboriginal art, Australian colonial and Impressionist artworks, as well as modern, contemporary art. The museum also holds priceless international art collections, extending across different art forms. Monet, Picasso, Renoir are examples of the luminaries in the artistic stratosphere who are immortalized within the halls of the NGV. Regardless of whether you're a fan of such art, a trip to the National Gallery definitely lends to a humbling and a certainly awe-inspiring visit!
