01 / The experience

NGV International & the Arts Precinct

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-tennis morning or afternoon rather than squeezing it between venue sessions. Check the exhibition calendar before travelling and treat performances at the nearby Arts Centre as separate bookings.
