There are 2 of NGV in Melbourne – NGV Australia and NGV international. Combining both will make the post painfully long. For this post, let’s look at NGV Australia together. Let’s begin our journey by stating clearly that I’m not an artsy person. I have an intensely hard time understanding arts. The history part isn’t the problem. It is normally the feeling part?
This colourful piece reminds me of a cafe in Tokyo where all the food has serious colouring LOL
No matter how low my culture level is, the NGV is a pleasant visit. It’s a fab FREE way to get away from the bustling Melbourne CBD and dive into a world of craziness 😛 The place has 3 levels and there’re plenty of couches lying around.
Tip
- You can leave your coat or bags by the front desk. (Free)
- All backpacks must be checked in.

The next time I learn a weblog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as a lot as this one. I mean, I know it was my option to read, but I really thought youd have one thing interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about one thing that you can repair if you happen to werent too busy looking for attention.

A few things i have usually told folks is that when looking for a good online electronics store, there are a few variables that you have to take into account. First and foremost, you should really make sure to locate a reputable and also reliable retail store that has picked up great evaluations and classification from other customers and marketplace experts. This will make certain you are getting through with a well-known store that provides good service and help to their patrons. Many thanks for sharing your opinions on this website.
Hiya! Quick question that’s completely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My website looks weird when browsing from my apple iphone. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to fix this problem. If you have any recommendations, please share. Appreciate it!

When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new feedback are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get 4 emails with the identical comment. Is there any means you can take away me from that service? Thanks!

Nice post. I learn one thing more difficult on completely different blogs everyday. It can all the time be stimulating to learn content from different writers and apply a little something from their store. I?d desire to use some with the content on my blog whether you don?t mind. Natually I?ll offer you a hyperlink in your web blog. Thanks for sharing.

Art appreciation is a mixture of BS and self-reflection. Whatever you claim you “see”, it’s true for you and therefore it is valid! 😉
That colour piece looks like Rainbow Brite went on an acid trip…
Really? You’re way more artsy than me 😉
Wow
You have a fun life …….

LOL good point
Hi Joyce. Hope you looked at the indigenous art on the ground floor, all the traditional carved totems etc. The dots in the Aboriginal dot paintings tell traditional or geographical stories. There are deep spiritual meanings for these works. Also they have appreciated in value from when first coming into the public domain in the early 1970’s. There is some exploitation of tourists in places like Queensland resorts by white Australians but most are done at community locations. My wife and I are members of the National Gallery and regularly visit both sites, the cafes are OK especially the tea rooms in the international. We get discount on everything that costs money at both sites.
Hi Denis, yes I did went to the ground floor. My photo of the totems were pretty bad, that’s why I didn’t use those in the post. I had no idea that you’re such an art lover! Yes, I went to the tea room by the international side. That whole ‘forest’ thing was a spectacular experience. Lucky you for all the discount 😀
