Just pinch me know!! To be so close to so many of Monet's beautiful works is truly special. The display is well laid out and the information along the way is invaluable. Well done to the National Gallery of Victoria.

Monet was great but the afternoon tea was better! Make sure you buy your tickets online before attending. And avoid public holidays and weekends if possible.

The Tea Room cafe is a great place for lunch or moring/afternoon tea. The pot of chai brewed with milk is a real treat. Cafe is closed on Tuesdays.

They rest of the NGV... More

What a beautiful Gallery, designed in the 70's and still dateless. Do yourself a favour and head done to the gallery and check out many of the exhibitions.

We absolutley loved the current exhibition "Monet's Garden" which is at the NGV. It was a large exhibition of his works with interesting captions and explinations of the paintings. I have viewed his works previously in Paris and was impressed by the range of paintings on exhibit. It is here until early September and I would suggest well worth a... More
