The Ian Potter Center is right in the heart of the cultural hub of the CBD, near the Yarra River, not too far from the graffiti laneways and surrounded by thriving walkways, thoroughfares and coffee houses. It boasts some of Australias most significant artworks from the 19th and 20th centuries which are well displayed and curated and complimented by city views from points throughout the atrium. This is a great place to spend one hour gazing at works and pondering there meaning and enjoying the slow-paced and quite nature of the galleries. Just adjacent to the galleries is screenworlds which is a permanent exhibition on all things interactive media and gaming and is worth spending an hour testing all of the exhibits here also.
