Are you interested in a visit to the National Gallery of Victoria but cannot physically visit? We would love to see you or your community group or aged care centre online through our program Gallery Visits You. 

Join NGV Educators in conversation each month as they introduce highlight works from the NGV Collection and exhibitions. No prior art knowledge or experience is required.

In our final ‘Gallery Visits You’ for 2025 we introduce a selection of works by iconic international fashion designers Vivienne Westwood and Rei Kawakubo whose work is the focus of the major exhibition Westwood | Kawakubo (7 Dec 2025 – 19 Apr 2026) at NGV International. Gain insights into the designers’ unique approaches to fashion and understand how each has challenged conventions and reshaped the fashion landscape with bold innovation and vision.

Online Event Instructions

Only one booking per group is required. Booked participants will receive an email prior to the event including a link to connect to the online program.
