The National Gallery of Victoria is turning to French art legends Monet, Degas and Renoir for a major winter exhibition it hopes will bring back big crowds, after a run of more contemporary, modern art exhibitions.
The NGV has been buffeted by the pandemic. It was closed for most of last year, reopening for just a few days before Victoria was hit with the second wave of the virus, forcing it shut for most of the rest of last year.
It was set to announce the new blockbuster exhibition, which will open in June, last Monday when the state was again hit with a five-day, snap lockdown. The winter masterpieces series has attracted over 7 million visitors to gallery with previous blockbusters including Van Gogh, Salvador Dali and MoMA at NGV.
