Private group experience

Take your love of art to the next level with a private experience.

Personally guided by an art expert, you’ll uncover the unexpected, the overlooked and the occasionally outrageous stories in the NGV Collection. This isn’t just art appreciation – it’s your chance to see beyond the frame.

Private experiences are available Monday – Friday at select times. Choose from the following options:

NGV International
Join one of NGV’s expert storytellers as they unveil the untold stories and hidden histories behind some of the world’s most famous artworks – from ancient treasures to modern masterpieces.

NGV Australia
Experience Australia through art.​ Go beyond the labels at NGV Australia to uncover once-hidden paintings, hear untold stories and experience art from the world’s oldest living culture.​ This is your chance to see Australia like never before – surprising, stirring and anything but ordinary.

Each experience spans an hour and is delivered by an expert storyteller who brings the Collection to life with surprising insights and hidden histories.
