Frame displaying European paintings
In late autumn, my daughter, who is studying in Australia, took me to visit the magnificent Victoria International Traveling Exhibition and the world's largest collection of Australian art in downtown Melbourne.
The museum left a good impression on visitors when, right from the entrance, we received enthusiastic guidance from the tour guides. They systematically guided us to visit the topics displayed here.
The stereoscopic glass ceiling area creates a unique impression at the National Gallery of Victoria
The National Gallery of Victoria opened in 1861 and is Australia's oldest art gallery, comprising the International Museum in Melbourne's South Bank cultural precinct and the Ian Potter Centre: Australian Art Museum in Federation Square.

Before entering the area displaying international fine arts and sculptures, we admired the architectural beauty of the building with a very reasonable layout. The impressive dark gray color on the exterior of the exhibition room creates a contrast with the surrounding water features and the waterfall pouring down the glass entrance. Sunlight through the stereoscopic glass frames creates colorful, impressive colors.

Inside, the rainbow of light emanating from one of the world’s largest stained-glass ceilings once again dazzles visitors. The space houses an extensive permanent collection of more than 66,000 works of art from Europe, Asia, the Americas and Oceania. Each work is labeled with the date, year and comparison to contemporary art schools.

The most interesting thing is to walk through the sculptures of all sizes or the works of drawing with watercolor, pencil and even vivid materials from nature. The area displaying paintings and antiques created by international and domestic artists is a long stop for visitors because each work shows unique creativity, not mixed.
Notably, paintings and antiques salvaged from the ocean or auctioned have gathered here before the admiring eyes of visitors.
Here, I met many Vietnamese students studying in Australia. They said that their theses and essays on world art, graphics and sculpture were all gleaned from their visits to this museum.

Most unique is the international collection with many works by great names in the world of art such as: Bernini, Cézanne, Corregio, Manet, Monet and Picasso.
The museum also hosts major traveling exhibitions from Europe, America and Asia. More exciting specials on international art will be on display in the near future.
