The National Gallery of Victoria is Australia’s largest museum. Dedicated to acquiring and displaying art since 1861, the NGV’s collection of over 70,000 pieces is displayed in two locations. This one – on St Kilda Road within the Melbourne Arts Precinct – is NGV International. As its name implies, worldwide artists are represented from Europe, Asia and Mesoamerica plus Greek and Egyptian artifacts. Recognizable names include works by Picasso, Monet, Rembrandt, Renoir and Rodin. The sibling facility, NGV Australia, is located across the river in Federation Square.
