The Melbourne Arts Precinct sits on the land around Birrarung (the Yarra River), has a rich cultural history and has been an important gathering place for Wurundjeri and visiting Kulin Nations for millennia.
Today, the precinct is home to many of Melbourne’s iconic arts and cultural institutions, has one of the highest concentrations of arts, cultural and creative organisations anywhere in the world – and presents up to 3000 performances and exhibitions in a typical year.
The Melbourne Arts Precinct Transformation will provide a major rejuvenation to the city and Southbank, delivering The Fox: NGV Contemporary – a new gallery dedicated to contemporary art and design, significant upgrades to Arts Centre Melbourne’s Theatres Building, and a new 18,000 square metre urban garden for people to enjoy.
