Black, you must be the historical dust and exhibition of Shanghai Museum, which has been the hottest exhibition of the entire summer. Unfortunately, if I acted too slowly, I definitely didn't hit the ticket, and the entire summer vacation was almost filled up every day. Fortunately, at the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), seeing a special exhibition about pharaohs like this can also be considered a 'peaceful decline'. I have borrowed over 500 precious items from the British Museum. The art gallery has borrowed over 500 works from the British Museum, especially a lion sculpture from more than 3000 years ago, which is one of the treasures of the Ancient Egyptian Sculpture Gallery at the British Museum. Many of the exhibits are being exhibited in Australia for the first time, making it the largest ever exhibition of ancient artifacts in Australian history. The reason for this is the largest international touring exhibition in the history of the British Museum (which is a breath of dust and a sigh of relief).. Divided into two exhibition halls, the quantity and scale of the displayed products are not large. As long as the exhibition is attentive and the mobile line arrangement is reasonable, although there are many people watching, the foot traffic of this shoe on the Bo platform is relatively "rare" compared to others. There are no noisy children or uneven study groups, and everyone is quietly watching the exhibition. The experience is quite enjoyable. PS. The old cultural and creative industry products here are very rich and colorful, and the prices are very fair and approachable (especially for jewelry, which has a foundation of over AUD 150). Driven by the exhibition experience, scholars are attracted to the exhibition name: PHARAOH? Address: 180 St Kilda Rd, Melbourne VIC 3006, Australia Time: 10:00-17:00 Extension: June 14-10:2024 $6 Ticket: Adult AUD 38; Children (5-15 years old) or AUD

Amazing Collection of Art Works
#melbournetrip
One of the best places in Melbourne to visit.
Entry is free.. 😆Well maintained and located in the CDB area near to Flinders Street Station..
Divided into three floors, and each one is unique of a kind. Take around 1.5 hrs and you can click photos too. Inside, there is a cafeteria where you can have tea and some refreshment. There is a store at the ground where you can shop
All the arts,historical and painting are masterpieces and you won't regret visiting it.. You can skip visiting gardens, but not this place.

The KAWS exhibition, themed around "companionship in the age of loneliness", focuses on the emotional appeal of artwork. Held in the widely respected National Gallery of Victoria, it consists of four themes: 1. Public Interventions, 2. Iconography, 3. Order and Chaos, and 4. Companionship.

A free museum in Melbourne.
The building is huge and there's even free baggage check-in. Isn't it amazing that a museum of this size is completely free!?
I had to take care of some work at a bad time, so I was walking around with my smartphone and saw a bronze statue that looked just like me, so I snapped a picture🤣
The exhibition seemed to have a lot of modern art, but of course there were also many classical pieces.

#australiatrip
The National Gallery of Victoria is well worth a visit. It has a capsule of all the important art, furniture and pottery. It does have a surreal element in that modern and old art are exhibited side by side. Full of collections, all of them from different cultures and artists. Free at the point of entrance. It's a lot to take in at one visit. I'd love to go back.

Victoria's Melbourne National Museum
Although the Melbourne Art Gallery in Australia is not as vast as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Louvre in France, or even the British Museum, it has its own unique features. The collection of oil paintings is not too small, focusing mainly on artifacts from various eras and periods. The design sense is also quite good. Melbourne's weather is very similar to Toronto's. Although many people think that Canada is at a high latitude and therefore very cold, it actually isn't, and the urban feel is quite similar, though with fewer people.

#melbournetrip "Captivating Art Collection and Inspiring Atmosphere’’
My visit to the NGV in Victoria was nothing short of mesmerizing. The diverse and extensive art collection left me in awe, showcasing a wide range of artistic styles and periods. The museum's commitment to fostering creativity is evident in its thoughtfully curated exhibits. The atmosphere is both serene and inspiring, making it a perfect escape into the world of art. My only minor critique would be to enhance the signage for a smoother navigation experience. Overall, a fantastic cultural gem deserving of a solid 4.5 stars!"

went to the national gallery of Victoria which is located in Melbourne Australia. the opening hours of the National gallery is 10am-5pm. the gallery is quite huge and pretty and there’s different exhibitions going on for you to explore. entry is free hence do not have to worry about cost if there is nothing you can do in Melbourne and would like to spend some time here. there’s also a cafe located inside of the gallery so you can have a meal here if you would like. in fact it was quite crowded when I went there. the Alexander McQueen exhibition is open on 11 Dec and would recommend to visit if possible. this will require a ticket and cost about $30 for non members.
