[2025 Southbank Attraction] Travel Guide for National Gallery of Victoria (Updated Mar)

I happened to be back in Melbourne during Yayoi Kusama's polka dot exhibition, and I definitely couldn't miss it. Many exhibits are being shown in Australia for the first time, and the popularity is evident in the fact that tickets need to be purchased several days in advance. 🎫 How to book: This exhibition is extremely popular, so be sure to purchase tickets in advance on the NGV's official website to avoid sell-outs. If you prefer a less crowded viewing experience, it's recommended to book the earliest time slot, around 9:00 am, when there are the fewest people. 💰 AUD 38 ❤️ Must-see photo spots: Most of the amazing photo opportunities are in Part 2. 1️⃣ World premiere! The stunning new work - the kaleidoscopic Infinity Mirrored Room. It's like stepping into a parallel universe! 2️⃣ Australian premiere! The 5-meter-tall sculpture "Dancing Pumpkin" is super cute and incredibly photogenic. 3️⃣ Classic polka dot paintings + immersive mirror rooms + psychedelic sculptures - every room is a great photo op. 4️⃣ Pumpkin Mirror Room: There's a queue, and each person only has about 20 seconds to look around. You won't have time to use a camera here, so it's recommended to use your phone to take pictures through the small opening. 📌 Exhibition tips: 1️⃣ Attire: It's recommended to wear form-fitting clothing in solid colors (black, white, beige, or other low-saturation colors). The exhibition is full of highly saturated colors and patterns, which might be overwhelming for those with trypophobia. 2️⃣ Viewing order: You can scan your ticket and enter up to half an hour before your entry time. You must visit Part 1 before Part 2. If you see Part 2 first, you won't be able to go back to Part 1, as tickets are scanned separately for each part. 3️⃣ Bring a friend who's good at taking photos, and be patient. The popular spots require quick shots and waiting. 4️⃣ There are also many photo opportunities in the public areas on the first floor. You can take photos for free with a pumpkin sculpture, a field of silver balls, and the polka dot balloons hanging from the ceiling in the rest area. 5️⃣ The exhibition merchandise is also great. I ended up buying a polka dot backpack and a makeup bag. 📍 National Gallery of Victoria ⏰ Dates: December 15, 2024–April 21, 2025, 9:00 am–5:00 pm

#JanuaryGoodPlace2025 Yayoi Kusama is now 95 years old and is still working hard on her creations every day. In 2017, there will be an exhibition of Eternal Soul at the National Art Center, Tokyo, and in 2022, there will be an exhibition of Art from 1945 to the present at M+ Hong Kong. The Yayoi Kusama special exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV international) in Melbourne at the end of 2024 will make residents of the southern hemisphere extremely happy! Among the nearly 200 works, one of the most famous is Yayoi Kusama's large pumpkin sculpture, "Dancing Pumpkin", which is displayed in the atrium of the museum. The five-meter-high pumpkin bends and flows like an octopus, floating on the ground. Of course, polka dots and convex mirrors are indispensable, and the endless circles reveal her profound understanding of the universe and existence. The exhibition includes nearly 200 works including paintings, sculptures, collages, fashion designs, films and installation art, fully showcasing Yayoi Kusama's astonishing cross-disciplinary creative practice. Clever use of mirrors to create infinite space and create a dreamy visual effect.

If you're planning to go to Melbourne this year, don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy the Yayoi Kusama exhibition at NGV, running until April 2025. You should buy your ticket online in advance. There's a 99% chance it will be sold out on the spot, especially on weekends. There are part 1 and 2 in the exhibition and kids part. It shows a lot of Yayoi Kusama’s life stage of her career. It such an interesting exhibition. #travel #melbourne

#Exhibition #100 Ways to Travel Melbourne's #ArtGalleryofVictoria's #VenetianGlassExhibition LIQUID LIGHT 500 YEARS OF VENETIAN GLASS showcases 500 years of glass craftsmanship. It melts in fire and has eternity, perfect and shining like gold, dazzling in its splendor. Venetian glass, famous throughout the Mediterranean from the 13th century onwards, was admired for its exceptional transparency, technical facility and water-like fineness. A large collection of Venetian glass from the sixteenth to the twentieth century. Among them, the works from Burano Island in Venice are particularly rich and of high artistic value, with colorful works ranging from lamps to cups and utensils.

I have been to the national gallery of Victoria with my friend recently. I really love the arts of the Australian Art Gallery. The NGV got an update an since it is a wonderful cultral part of ol' Melbourne town.

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.

#Register for March Hotel Sleep Tester 2025 The retrospective exhibition of Nayoi Kusama at the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV International) in Melbourne is exciting, but sometimes you can’t watch it slowly in a hurry. Don't be afraid! Because there is a free area to check in extremely quickly! A total of more than 60 sycamore trees along St. Kilda Road covered with the iconic pink and white polka dots among the grass, called Polka Dots on the Tree Ascend to Heaven has transformed the entire street into an open-air art gallery. The free exhibition area in the front hall of NGV is famous for its huge bronze yellow and black pumpkin sculpture Dancing Pumpkin, which features a 5-metre-high sculpture. Created in 2020, this piece is one of Kusama’s largest and most ambitious pumpkins to date. The octopus-like tentacles on the pumpkin curve and flow, suspended above the ground, as if they are dancing to the rhythm, revealing to us her deep understanding of the universe and existence. There is also a classic interactive installation, the Narcissus Garden. The piece consists of 1,400 silver reflective balls with a diameter of 30 centimeters, some of which are placed on the ground in front of the water curtain wall, while the other is distributed within the Federal Courtyard of the Museum of Art, reflecting its surroundings for a fantastic visual effect. There are also big yellow and black balloons on the ceiling, a narcissistic garden restaurant and a wonderful Yayoi Kusama gift shop.

The Yayoi Kusama exhibition at NGV offered an insightful look into the artist’s early life and career. What caught my attention was that the exhibition highlighted her childhood in Japan and her bold decision to move to the United States, where she reached out to established artists despite cultural and societal barriers. Her determination was truly admirable. A standout moment was the Flower Room, where visitors could actively participate in the artwork. The space created a sense of connection between the artist and the audience. 💰Average Price per Person: AUD38

Melbourne, a city that pulsates with a vibrant energy, is a feast for the senses. In my previous post on favorite Melbourne experiences, I raved about the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) – so much so, I found myself drawn back for a second dose of artistic inspiration. The NGV, a dual-site marvel, boasts two distinct personalities. The main building, a majestic edifice opposite the serene Royal Botanic Gardens, houses a treasure trove of international art. Here, I encountered Jeff Koons' "Venus," a shimmering testament to classical beauty, distorted and multiplied by the reflective surface of mirror-polished stainless steel. Nearby, Diana Al-Hadid's installation, a haunting presence from the Triennal 2024, evoked a sense of enclosure, a whispered echo of medieval gardens. And then there was Bethan Laura Wood's "Kaleidoscope-o-rama," a rotating bookcase, a playful homage to the salons of the 1900s, where women gathered to exchange ideas and challenge conventions. The Ian Potter Centre, across the Yarra River from Federation Square, is dedicated to Australian art. Here, the air hummed with a unique energy. What appeared to be ethereal PET lamp chandeliers, upon closer inspection, revealed intricate Aboriginal designs, a breathtaking fusion of tradition and modernity. Marlene Gibson's "The Landing" offered a poignant counterpoint to the official narrative of Australian history, depicting the arrival of the British from the perspective of the Indigenous people. Kaylene Whiskey's "Seven Sisters Song" intricately wove together Aboriginal culture with the vibrant hues of modern pop art. And Alick Tipoti's "Aric Coat," a sculpture incorporating repurposed materials, served as a powerful reminder of his Torres Strait Islander identity and the enduring strength of cultural heritage. The NGV, in its entirety, is a captivating journey through time and space, a testament to the power of human creativity. It's a place where the past whispers secrets, the present pulsates with life, and the future unfolds in a kaleidoscope of colors and ideas. #artmuseum #melbourne #australia #art

The Yayoi Kusama Special Exhibition will be held from December 15, 2024 to April 21, 2025. (P2) The first floor of NGV is all Yayoi Kusama special exhibitions, with tickets priced at AUD38 per person (it seems to be discounted now). It is divided into two parts, part 1 is some personal life introduction and works display, and part 2 is the design of spatial stereoscopic sense. I personally think part 2 is more interesting. NGV gives enough space to the queen of polka dots, and the entrance is full of polka dot balls P3, and you can see the introduction of Yayoi Kusama's life at the entrance of part 1. The more interesting part of the first part of the exhibition hall is the Sea of Death (P6), where a small boat made of polka dot balls floats on the sea. P7 is a series of small balls, each of which reflects a portrait. Part 2 is more inclined to three-dimensional space, and each small space needs to be queued. When there are many people, each point is limited to a few seconds before you need to come out. P9 was queued for a long time at that time, but the image in the small hole is still worth seeing. P8/P11/P12 and the cover all need to be queued to enter, and it is very shocking to be in it. The exhibition ends with Yayoi Kusama's singing (P13) and the flower house (P14). It is worth mentioning that the second, third and fourth floors of NGV are similar to museums, and the second floor saw ceramic apples (P15) and hamburgers (P16).
