Italian Masterpieces from Spain's Royal Court...NGV

The National Gallery of Victoria has a most wonderful exhibition at the moment of over 300 years of Italian art...Raphael, Correggio, Titian and many, many more.  This exhibition reflects the taste of Spanish royalty from the Museo del Prado....here

On visiting the website you will see that there are many talks on these beautiful paintings and it is worth the effort to go through the list and see what appeals....and there are a variety of talks which will certainly appeal to art lovers...

The Friday Night series commenced on 27 June 5.30-9.30pm... musical acts take to the stage in the NGV's Great Hall.  This is a rare opportunity to see these paintings and a wonderful opportunity to spend your Friday night with a difference.  For the Friday night series, tickets include exhibition entry talks and DJs, light dinner available at Gallery Kitchen and an Italian inspired bar menu in the Great Hall....what could be better on a winter's night?  See the website for details and bookings here

The National Gallery of Victoria is situated at 180 St Kilda Road Melbourne and the hours of opening are 10am-5pm daily.  The Exhibition finishes on 31 August, which seems far away, however, I would recommend you see this beautiful exhibition as soon as possible....there are always long queues as the closing of an exhibition draws near.......here

Certainly a  beautiful collection........Wendy
