Fodor's Review:

Encompassing a whole city block, the bold, abstract-style landmark was designed to house the second branch of the National Gallery of Victoria, which exhibits only Australian art. The square also incorporates the Centre for the Moving Image; the BMW Edge amphitheater, a contemporary music and theater performance venue; the Victorian Wine Precinct, showcasing the best of local wine; Champions: Australian Racing Museum; the Melbourne Visitor Centre; and restaurants, bars, and gift shops.

  • Cost: Free
  • Open: Mon.-Thurs. 10-5, Fri. 10-9, weekends 10-6
