The Fox: NGV Contemporary - Opening 2028

Melbourne's newest gallery, National Gallery for Contemporary Art and Design will open in 2028.

NGV Contemporary will be a landmark, new purpose-built gallery dedicated to displaying local, national and internationally significant contemporary art and design.

Located at 77 Southbank Blvd, and connected to an expansive 18,000 sq/m of new and renewed public green space, NGV Contemporary will be the heart of a reimagined Melbourne Arts Precinct.
