      "description": "The Ian Potter Centre brings Australian art into a dedicated gallery at Federation Square. Choose it for a city afternoon with painting, photography, design and changing displays, including historical and contemporary work by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists. The collection galleries are free, so you can focus on the floors or artists that interest you without committing to a paid exhibition. Allow around two hours for a considered visit, or keep a shorter stop to one group of galleries.\n\nStart with the gallery map and give the First Nations displays time alongside the other Australian collection rooms. Works and exhibitions change, so the experience is about exploring the art on view rather than ticking off a fixed list of paintings. Read the labels for the artist, Country and context of each work; sensitive-content advice belongs to the individual display. Take breaks on the gallery seating and leave space for a temporary exhibition if its subject appeals to you.\n\nThis is NGV Australia in the Ian Potter Centre, a separate building from NGV International on St Kilda Road. They make different visits: this venue concentrates on Australian art and design. ACMI and Koorie Heritage Trust are nearby at Federation Square, while the Atrium cafe gives you a convenient pause between galleries. Combining two venues works well for a half-day, with lunch kept outside gallery time.\n\nNo booking is needed for the collection. Selected exhibitions and programs have separate tickets and may have timed admission. The gallery normally opens 10:00–17:00; on ANZAC Day it opens at 13:00, and it is closed on Christmas Day. Backpacks, large bags and umbrellas must be left in the free cloakroom. For easier step-free arrival, use the Russell Street extension or Atrium entrance rather than the square’s sloped, uneven paving. Lifts serve every floor, and advance wheelchair reservations are available.",

          "description": "The Ian Potter Centre brings Australian art into a dedicated gallery at Federation Square. Choose it for a city afternoon with painting, photography, design and changing displays, including historical and contemporary work by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists. The collection galleries are free, so you can focus on the floors or artists that interest you without committing to a paid exhibition. Allow around two hours for a considered visit, or keep a shorter stop to one group of galleries.\n\nStart with the gallery map and give the First Nations displays time alongside the other Australian collection rooms. Works and exhibitions change, so the experience is about exploring the art on view rather than ticking off a fixed list of paintings. Read the labels for the artist, Country and context of each work; sensitive-content advice belongs to the individual display. Take breaks on the gallery seating and leave space for a temporary exhibition if its subject appeals to you.\n\nThis is NGV Australia in the Ian Potter Centre, a separate building from NGV International on St Kilda Road. They make different visits: this venue concentrates on Australian art and design. ACMI and Koorie Heritage Trust are nearby at Federation Square, while the Atrium cafe gives you a convenient pause between galleries. Combining two venues works well for a half-day, with lunch kept outside gallery time.\n\nNo booking is needed for the collection. Selected exhibitions and programs have separate tickets and may have timed admission. The gallery normally opens 10:00–17:00; on ANZAC Day it opens at 13:00, and it is closed on Christmas Day. Backpacks, large bags and umbrellas must be left in the free cloakroom. For easier step-free arrival, use the Russell Street extension or Atrium entrance rather than the square’s sloped, uneven paving. Lifts serve every floor, and advance wheelchair reservations are available.",

Choose it for a city afternoon with painting, photography, design and changing displays, including historical and contemporary work by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists. The collection galleries are free, so you can focus on the floors or artists that interest you without committing to a paid exhibition. Allow around two hours for a considered visit, or keep a shorter stop to one group of galleries.\n\nStart with the gallery map and give the First Nations displays time alongside the other Australian collection rooms. Works and exhibitions change, so the experience is about exploring the art on view rather than ticking off a fixed list of paintings. Read the labels for the artist, Country and context of each work; sensitive-content advice belongs to the individual display. Take breaks on the gallery seating and leave space for a temporary exhibition if its subject appeals to you.\n\nThis is NGV Australia in the Ian Potter Centre, a separate building from NGV International on St Kilda Road. They make different visits: this venue concentrates on Australian art and design. ACMI and Koorie Heritage Trust are nearby at Federation Square, while the Atrium cafe gives you a convenient pause between galleries. Combining two venues works well for a half-day, with lunch kept outside gallery time.\n\nNo booking is needed for the collection. Selected exhibitions and programs have separate tickets and may have timed admission. The gallery normally opens 10:00–17:00; on ANZAC Day it opens at 13:00, and it is closed on Christmas Day. Backpacks, large bags and umbrellas must be left in the free cloakroom. For easier step-free arrival, use the Russell Street extension or Atrium entrance rather than the square’s sloped, uneven paving. Lifts serve every floor, and advance wheelchair reservations are available.\n\n![The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia, Australian Grand Prix](<https://above.guide/australia-f1/_guide/images/f1/australia-f1/culture/ngv-australia/ngv-australia-melbourne-atrium-gallery-arrival.webp>)\n\nMuseums & culture **The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia** Australian Grand Prix\n\nIn pictures\n\n### The full gallery.\n\n02 / The essentials\n\n### The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia: visit essentials\n\n1. 01\n\n   Explore Australian art and design, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander work, in the free collection galleries at Federation Square.\n2. 02\n\n   Daily 10:00–17:00; ANZAC Day opens at 13:00; closed Christmas Day.\n3. 03\n\n   Free collection entry; selected exhibitions and programs extra.\n\n04 / Before you go\n\n### Plan your visit\n\nA free Australian-art visit at Federation Square.\n\n#### Admission\n\nFree collection entry; selected exhibitions and programs extra.\n\nGeneral entry\n\nFree\n\nOptional extras\n\nSelected exhibitions, events and programs have separate prices.\n\n[Explore exhibitions & events](<https://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/whats-on/>)\n\n#### Choose your visit\n\nDaily 10:00–17:00.
