The Gandel Hall is a very large room with carpet, bluestone walls and a colourful stained-glass ceiling.

NGV Friday Nights: CARTIER presents a series of live performances in the Gandel Hall. See NGV Friday Nights for the full program.

As the sun sets there are low light levels in the Gandel Hall, with the stage and bars lit up. Coloured and moving light effects are shown on the ceiling and haze effects are used. The music levels are fairly loud. No strobing is used.

The Gandel Hall is busy and noisy. If you need a lower-sensory area, we recommend the area next to Gallery Kitchen in front of the lift.
