Love this gallery. Always something different and a cool place to hang on a hot day. Never too busy too, which is a plus.
An excellent free entry art gallery with contemporary art exhibitions. Paid parking nearby or comfortable walking distance from Flinders St Station. Opposite NGV International.
Check their website for exhibition programs, as they may close during installation of new shows. Overall, it’s well curated compared to other contemporary art museums in Melbourne.
A beautiful contemporary art space Next to the national gallery of Victoria. This place is even free to attend! I've only found out because of the open house Melbourne. Staff here, including Anthea, Maddie and Harriet are all highly passionate and helpful. They have an exhibition change every 3 months once so with checking it out whenever people are coming to visit as well as for your own exploration. Today I saw some of the local artist's work in few different mediums.
Located inside the Southbank campus of the University of Melbourne, Buxton Contemporary is a hidden gem to explore. It occupies two floors, has a very spacious lift and a small gift store. The staff here are friendly and efficient.
