National Gallery of Victoria (NGV)
The NGV is an art gallery in Melbourne. They display an array of art from eastern and western parts of the world and from different time centuries. Mostly paintings are on display but they have a few sculptures and artifacts aswell.
If you aren’t a fan of art, a visit to NGV might be a bore but I believe that everyone should visit art galleries when traveling to a foreign country as to better understand and appreciate the history and culture of that particular country.

Ok, take a look at this painting. It looks huge because I zoomed my camera. In actual fact, it’s quite small. Uhm, it’s probably the size of a man’s tshirt. Beautiful painting right?
I zoomed in even further here. Do you see how intricate the painting is. Look at the lace details and the folds on the dress are drawn perfectly. It looks like a photograph! The painter must have used the tiniest brush on the planet and the patience of a saint to be able to complete this painting. People in those ancient times have incomparable talent, no doubt about that.
