The Fox: NGV Contemporary Targets a 2028 Opening in Melbourne
The National Gallery of Victoria's new contemporary art wing, The Fox: NGV Contemporary, is under construction in Melbourne's Southbank arts precinct with a targeted 2028 opening, part of a rivalry with Hobart's MONA.
- The Fox: NGV Contemporary is a new contemporary art museum at 77 Southbank Boulevard in Melbourne, slated to open in 2028[2][3]
- It got an A$100 million donation from Lindsay and Paula Fox in April 2022, the largest gift by a living private donor to an Australian museum[2]
- Angelo Candalepas and Associates won the design competition (announced 15 March 2022) over three other shortlisted teams; the design has 13,000 sq m of gallery space, a rooftop sculpture terrace and a central spherical hall over 40 m high[2][3]
- The museum, about 30,000 sq m, is the centrepiece of a A$1.7 billion revamp of the Southbank arts precinct funded by the Victorian government[2][3]
