As a Sydneysider, my favourite gallery is the National Gallery of Victoria (no joke; I've been there more times than the Art Gallery of New South Wales). It ain't a Melbourne visit if I didn't go to the NGV!
I got an e-mail yesterday with a number of offers that Amex cardholders can take advantage of when visiting the NGV:
- 15% off exhibition tickets (if you book online, they charge a $4.50 booking fee. You may want to book online if the queue for buying tickets is 40 minutes long like when I went to Van Gogh last year)
- 20% off memberships excluding Premium and Corporate memberships until August 5 (with a free exhibition ticket excluding Melbourne Winter Masterpieces, reciprocal benefits at interstate galleries like AGNSW and if you happen to be in New York and have a NGV Membership, you can go to MoMA for free between June 9 and October 7) e.g. Individual Annual Membership is $105 normally but $84 with the Amex offer
- 10% off NGV Design Store (in store only) - it says until July 29 on the website, but the e-mail I got states August 5
- Complimentary drink at NGV Friday Nights
For those who've been to the NGV MoMA exhibition, is it crowded?
Entry is free
