Time Out says

The Ian Potter Centre is the first major gallery in the world to be exclusively dedicated to Australian art. This gallery is home to the NGV's massive collection of Aussie artwork, ranging from the Colonial period through to contemporary works. 

The centre comprises of more than 20 galleries, all housed within a landmark building in Fed Square.

Galleries feature photography, prints and drawings, fashion and textiles, decorative arts, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art. The centre also hosts special exhibitions and educational programs to help give Melburnians a new perspective on the city. 

Don’t miss Charles Blackman’s Alice, Heidelberg School artists and an impressive Indigenous art collection.
