Fed Square is one of Melbourne’s most significant art hubs, and it hosts some of the leading arts, culture, and public events in this Australian metropolis. It’s home to some of the most spectacular art galleries in this city. Here are three that deserve a moment of your time.
Ian Potter Centre
This art center houses the Australian part of the collection of the National Gallery of Victoria, and that’s reason enough to give it a visit. You can find around 20,000 paintings, sculptures, prints, textiles, and other artwork on its premises, from such artists as Sidney Nolan and Margaret Preston.
Koorie Heritage Trust
If you’re looking for a gallery that puts Indigenous art front and center, Koorie Heritage Trust is the place to be. This cultural organization is home to over 100,000 items, ranging from paintings and artifacts to books and photographs, and it’s dedicated to preserving and promoting the culture of Indigenous people in this part of Australia.
Australian Centre for the Moving Image
If film happens to be your favorite form of art, ACMI deserves a spot on your bucket list. This screen gallery was built on the grounds of a former train station platform and now features two cinemas equipped to play every film, video, and digital video format.
