👍👍 This is a small boutique art gallery located in Kew, Victoria. It has art exhibitions, though we went there for a Sip & Paint Class.

Sprawling gallery of 70,000+ pieces of historic indigenous art, contemporary pieces & artifacts.

👍👍 One of my favourite galleries in Melbourne, exhibits more of the darker, macabre and surreal arts. Just a delightful space for artists to showcase their expressions of a possible reality.

👍👍 Perfect place just to chill and enjoy art. Van Gogh has some interesting paintings to be interpreted. Although people might say he was a psycho, but he was definitely a genius. Despite all the fame he accumulated over the decades, he only ever sold one piece of artwork, this he was never a rich man....

👍👍 Excellent vibe and setting. A real gem off in little street. Delicious cocktails and even better service. Will definitely be back!

👍👍 We enjoyed this spontaneous stop on the way to the Sorrento. The gentlemen who we spoke to was extremely knowledgeable about glassblowing techniques, history, styles etc. There was no question he wasn't able to answer in detail. Call ahead if you want to see glassblowing in action so you can time yo...
