À propos
Faits rapides: Step into the soaring, light-filled atrium and the hush of the galleries quickly gives way to lively conversations around contemporary installations and blockbuster shows. One surprising fact is the collection holds over 70,000 works, from delicate ancient prints to bold Indigenous pieces and cutting-edge contemporary art, and many visitors spend entire afternoons wandering the sculpture garden and lingering at the café.
Points forts: Step inside a place that holds over 70,000 works across two buildings, where you can stand inches from Sidney Nolan's Ned Kelly series from 1946 to 1947, the flat black helmet and scorched red-brown brushstrokes smelling faintly of oil paint. On select Friday nights the galleries shift into a late-night scene with DJs, cocktails and food stalls, drawing crowds in the low thousands who gather beneath Leonard French's kaleidoscopic Great Hall ceiling to trade hushed gallery talk for live beats.
Conseils d'initiés
- Wear comfortable shoes, galleries span several floors and long walks are common.
- Ask at the front desk about photography rules, many permanent works allow non-flash photos but temporary shows often ban photography.
- Head to the rooftop sculpture garden for city views and a refreshing break between galleries.
- Start with the temporary exhibitions then move to the permanent collection to avoid backtracking and peak crowds.

Après avoir voyagé dans plus de 30 pays, il y a une chose que j'aurais aimé qu'on me dise dès le premier jour, et cela a complètement changé ma façon de découvrir les nouvelles villes.
Les visites à pied gratuites. Oui, vraiment gratuites. Pas besoin de carte de crédit. Pas de piège.

J'ai fait ces visites dans des dizaines de villes et elles ont été le point fort de presque tous mes voyages. Si vous visitez Melbourne, Australia, faites-le le premier jour. Vous me remercierez plus tard.
