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 room was full of serious looking paintings

Faun and Nymph by Rayner Hoff 1924 Sydney. Is that art or fantastical porn in a sculpture form?

Untitled by Robert MacPherson 1977 Brisbane. My feeling was ‘what’?

Untitled by Peter Booth Melbourne 1966-1967 **I’m sorry, why on earth would this take him 1 year to finish? Someone, please explain this time consuming art to me?

By Sally Gabori 2005. The piece on the right is titled ‘all the fish’. I personally don’t really get that, but the colours look happy and make my eyes funny 😛

Come on… What am I supposed to see /feel from this?

 

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.

  1. I?m impressed, I must say. Really not often do I encounter a blog that?s each educative and entertaining, and let me let you know, you may have hit the nail on the head. Your concept is outstanding; the issue is something that not sufficient people are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy that I stumbled throughout this in my search for one thing regarding this.

  2. Hello there I am so delighted I found your weblog, I really found you by mistake, while I was looking on Digg for something else, Regardless I am here now and would just like to say cheers for a tremendous post and a all round interesting blog (I also love the theme/design), I don’t have time to browse it all at the moment but I have bookmarked it and also added your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read much more, Please do keep up the excellent work.
