In that time they have amassed a 65,000 piece collection, including the world’s largest selection of Australian Art. The NGV’s collection also includes a diverse range of art from all over the world, dating back thousands of years, from Egyptian artifacts and Classical pottery to Andy Worhol’s ‘Self Portrait no.9’ and contemporary couture from Australia’s own Toni Maticevski. The ‘Australian Contemporary Art’ collection also nurtures the country’s most talented emerging artists.
