Each week, we’re open late for NGV Friday Nights.
The 2025 NGV Melbourne Winter Masterpieces® exhibition French Impressionism explores the timelessness of one of the most renowned movements in art history. Step inside a 19th-century grand interior and experience over 100 works by Monet, Renoir, Degas, Cassatt, Van Gogh, Manet and more.
LIVE MUSIC FROM MINDY MENG WANG 王萌 AND TIM SHIEL
Great Hall
7pm, 8pm & 9pm
Mindy Meng Wang 王萌 and Tim Shiel’s collaborative project draws upon archival recordings of Mindy’s guzheng and reworks these into new compositions. The result is a unique and wonderful dive into the spaces that exist somewhere on the fringes of electronica, pop, avant-garde experimentation and classical Chinese tradition.
