"Welcome to the largest, oldest, and most popular art institution in Australia—and what a beauty it is. When the collection became too vast, the National Gallery of Victoria was able to move its Australian works a new, purpose-built space, leaving the international pieces here, in a bluestone monolith designed in 1967 by esteemed Australian architect Roy Grounds. The museum is big, but not huge, so you can quite easily take in all the galleries in one visit if you’ve got comfy shoes. And it’s just as interesting for art aficionados as it is for rookies." - Carrie Hutchinson
