Through Wall & Water


Shot at the entrance to the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne.

The NGV is located on the famous Saint Kilda Rd. The exhibition includes European paintings, Chinese, South East Asian and Indian sculpture, Modern Art and even Egyptian excavations. Highlight for me was
Anguish by August Friedrich Albrecht Schenck

The singer Farinelli and friends by Jacopo Amigon, where the eyes and the feet of the people in the painting follow you :

Katsushika Hokusai: The hollow of the deep-sea wave off Kanagawa :

The modern art section was a bit disappointing but i guess that is more to do with my lack of understanding.

Overall a worthwhile experience. Do visit the Tea shop, where you get to taste a variety of tea flavours from around the world. Though entry to the gallery is free, you've got to pay for the tea.
