01 / Why it matters

### More than a stop on a list.

Explore the international collection at NGV International on St Kilda Road, then take a walk through the neighbouring arts precinct. General collection entry is free; major exhibitions and events can require separate tickets. Put the gallery on a non-race morning or afternoon rather than squeezing it between circuit sessions. Check the exhibition calendar before travelling and treat performances at the nearby Arts Centre as separate bookings.
