Ian Potter Center, NGV Review

Great Australian 19th, 20th century and Aboriginal art. Interesting photo exhibition

Incredible experience. Don't visit Melbs without at least a quick visit through the top floor!

The gallery can be visited, modern art, free admission.

Nice place too visit even if you're not a artistic person.

Tells an interesting narrative of Australian art from the 19th - 20th century

I love this place. Friendly staff friendly place and I really love the back area. We can just sit and relax and listen to the birds. Great for people who are creative and in the Arts. Security of very very helpful and if you need help they will give you help with a smile. Every coming to visit Melbourne then definitely come here you will feel great afterwards.

Never seizes to amaze me, constantly has new artworks that come in. The top arts expedition was wonderful this year

Very nice museum. Interesting collections and the first time i wanted to listen to the guides because the guy was pretty funny and informative

Lovely especially for those cold and rainy afternoons where being outdoors isn't much of an option. Can get a free guided tour. Lasts about an hour and the tour guides do know quite a bit about the art pieces. So if you're into art would suggest the free guided tour. Otherwise you can stroll around and experience the place for yourself. All art comes with a bit of information of what the art piece is so a self-tour is still possible.

as always displaying top range creative works from acclaimed professional artists.

An amazing building with a good collection of Indigenous and Australian art, as well as other interesting exhibitions ranging from ancient civilisations to contemporary art. The gift shop has a range of amazing books for a decent price. I particularly loved seeing pieces made by Aboriginal groups I actually worked with.

Another of my must see Art galleries when in Melbourne - they have a great collection which is always changing and interesting - plus they know how to put on fabulous one off exibitions.

A really nice art gallery which gave a good feeling for Australian art, culture, and history.

Awesome place. I have never thought that there is NGV right at Federation Sqr. Apprently it is big inside and explored a bit. I find this part of NGV is more interesting than the big boy over at st kilda rd. However, the showcase some great arts too. What I love the most when I visited the place, there was this art piece where we can dance just like in the disco room. Had fun and will come back for other things!

A very unique building that would have been worth seeing even if it didn't have art inside! Loved seeing the works of Australian artists.

Beautiful space moves, there are always great exhibitions

Loved seeing the art by native Australians. The museum is set up so nicely. Easy way to spend an afternoon!

It can be enjoyed enough even with the part to put in for free

So many art works from 19th century, 20th century, 21st century, Joseph Brown collection, Indigenous and Political Artworks and more. We spent two hours here and were only planning to spend one. There is so much to look at I would highly recommend. They also have a Lucy McRae limited time exhibition on which was my favourite. An eclectic range of artworks, something for everyone.

I loved this place, also it s free. Def worth it to check it out. 3floors of different sort of art and style!

Nice exhibition with different styles and media of artwork.

Really cool space. Good way to spend a rainy Sunday.

Exciting contemporary exhibitions, alongside more traditional Australian collections

It is a great place to visit and had a wonderful experience. Felt exhilarated after my visit there.

Very good exhibits when I went and a lot of it was free. There were about 3 floors of different exhibits from different eras that I could look at for free. The store was very nice as well and had some great pieces of merch that related to the exhibits.

Absolutely wort the experience. We spend a couple of hours at NGV. We could have spend all day there!

FAB info centre/book shop. Some real cool literature.

A great place to see modern Australian art and it s free! Check the website for timings of the free tours around the galleries which take place about three times a day. There are also lots of activities for kids - especially during the school holidays.

Well known Australian paintings from different era. Upcoming contemporary art and interesting installations.

Beautiful building.
Amazing exhibitions.
Dont miss out on aboriginal arts.
Free guided tours around midday (can't remember when exactly).
Oh and most of it is free.

Always fabulous to experience great Australian art.

Very well designed exhibitions in an exceptional building. Art at its best.

The place is good.security is good..BUT the kiosk and cafe on the 2th floor is minus 1 star.to expensive.A salmon toste and lemon marenque $19.50. WHAT THE %@#&.

Very interesting exhibitions however my preference is Heidelberg School artists!

The exhibition was nothing to write home about. The curator cum warden was eagerly officious in instructing me NOT to open a drawer. When challenged about where is the sign his catch-all answer was "it's a condition of entry". There were no signs saying don't touch and no condition of entry T&C were available at reception. If you're going to justify your existence make sure you know what you're talking about, have the facts to hand - and attend a customer services trading module. Don't bother with this place.

Indigenous art taken to a new level of appreciation. It is truly amazing. Make sure you schedule enough time to look at all the art.

Extremely modern, impressive and very beautiful building. The gallery is fairly new so not comparable with our European galleries. The exhibition hall is very elegant, the gallery is predominantly aboriginal art and contemporary art.

Creative art lane.
Heart of Melbourne

An excellent building for displaying art. Easy to move through and access. The permanent displays are worth seeing.

"There's nothing to do!"
Bulldust!
Rock up here alone, with a date or with your family and enjoy the mind expanding exhibits from all parts of the globe.

Best time to go is at opening time. It was nice and quiet.

Required a artistic nature to visit the these kind of place but still enjoyed it's serene & historical presentation of different artist of different era

Wonderful gallery - really enjoyed the 20th century Australian art.

Fantastic collection of past and present Australian art and Indigenous art. Free entry and lots to see. Excellent.

Interesting John Olsen exhibition on at present.
Looking at his paintings makes you think about their content and your responses to them.
Also, courteous and helpful gallery staff.

Lovely experience, the architecture of the building was good, even the artwork was well presented with a diverse art medium range

Great place to visit, although lately when I visit I've noticed one security guard in particular following me around a little to closely for my liking. I don't know if I look like the type of character that touches the art work or if he's just always super bored when I visit. Either way it's uncomfortable.

Australian art - some excellent paintings in a very contemporary setting. You could easily spend the day here. It's great to see the art together in one place rather than mixed up with the international art - it's a really good idea to have 2 different galleries on different sites. A very interesting visit.

Excellent permanent and regular visiting exhibitions.

Superb exhibitions are held here . I recently saw The Heysen exhibition in 2019 and it was very informative and beautifully curated.

Great centre of indigenous culture and artifects. A great place to spend an afternoon, there is a cafe within the centre and the place is easily accessible and spacious.

Entry is free and an excellent escape for travellers away for the outside elements.

Really great selection of art to satisfy those looking for something old and new

High quality Public Gallery that always showcases both fee and free exhibitions of significance.

Always good and currently has a great exhibit on called Colony, it has 2 parts and both combined tells a fantastic story

Best of the best. Our museum is consistently awesome

Free entry, lots of interesting things, one of the must visit for families

Always something of world class to see. A beautiful place.

The exhibition called "Colony" that l visited was fabulous with exceptional exhibits.

A variety of temp expos, paintings and photography of mostly local artists

Disappointing, not many exhibitions due to setting up
