2025 NGV Annual Appeal

This year, the NGV is seeking your support to help us secure Ernst Ludwig Kirchner’s Officer and waitress (Offizier und Kellnerin), 1915 for the Gallery’s Collection.

Support the appeal

From energetic cattle dogs to mysterious black cats, Cats & Dogs takes you on an exciting adventure into our special bond with these furry friends. With over 250 incredible pieces of art and design, you’ll discover how these animals have been by our side throughout history.

And the best part? During the school holidays, kids can get in for FREE when an adult buys a ticket. Bring your family and explore the amazing world of cats and dogs together.

Would you like your pet to be on display in the exhibition? In Cats & Dogs, you’re invited to share digital photos of your prized pooch or curious cat for display in The Pet Gallery – supported by Major Partners, DINE® and MY DOG®.

*Cats & Dogs is a ticketed exhibition, entry is free for children (5 – 15 years) throughout the school holidays, 5-20 July 2025. Reserve tickets online or at the Information Desk at NGV Australia.
