Summary

The National Gallery of Victoria was incorporated in 1870. The Gallery was originally located in Russell Street, in the premises of the Public Library of Victoria. In 1968 the new art gallery building was opened in St Kilda Road. At the end of the twentieth century, the Gallery returned once again to its former Russell Street location, where some of its art is being exhibited while renovations are carried out on the St Kilda Road building.
