National Gallery of Victoria

Since 1861, the National Gallery of Victoria has been displaying art
works for the enjoyment of the community. In the mid-1990s, the gallery
acknowledged that its St Kilda Road building could no longer
successfully meet the demands of its growing collection and extensive
exhibitions schedule.

The Victorian State Government agreed
to an extensive redevelopment of the site, and also contribute towards
the funding of a second NGV building at Federation Square.

The Collection is now split between The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia at Federation Square, home of Australian art, and NGV International at St Kilda Road,
the new redeveloped building dedicated to the gallery's magnificent
international artworks. Our visitors now have two wonderful NGV
buildings dedicated to bringing art and people together.
