National Gallery of Victoria
The NGV is Australia's oldest and one of its largest public art galleries, split across two sites — the international collection at this St Kilda Road building (NGV International), and Australian art at the Ian Potter Centre at Federation Square. This location's water wall entrance and stained-glass ceiling are landmarks in their own right.
It regularly hosts major international touring exhibitions that draw significant queues, so it's worth checking what's showing and booking timed tickets in advance if a big-name show is on.
