At the heart of the NGV lies its Collection, bringing together over 75,000 pieces of First Nations, Australian and international art, design and architecture. Since NGV’s foundation in 1861, the Collection has continued to grow, evolving to reflect a diversity of cultures, practices and perspectives. It is here to inspire, challenge and connect people and communities through art.
