This winter, the National Gallery of Victoria invites you to experience the beauty of French Impressionism in a whole new light.

From 6 June to 3 October, NGV Friday Nights returns with a curated program of art, music, and dining, offering a rare opportunity to explore the Melbourne Winter Masterpieces exhibition French Impressionism from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston after hours.

Wander through over 100 iconic works by artists including Monet, Renoir, Manet, Degas, Pissarro, Morisot, and Cassatt, presented in exquisitely recreated 19th-century interiors. With richly patterned wallpaper, period furnishings, and a 1920s Erard grand piano, the exhibition evokes the elegance of Parisian salons and Boston’s historic galleries.

Each Friday evening, the gallery comes alive with a dynamic lineup of live performances, spanning jazz, neo-soul, contemporary classical, R&B, and electronic music. Featured artists include Intermood, Bumpy, Fia Feill, and Wild Gloriosa, each adding a distinct soundscape to your evening.

Guests can also enjoy fine dining in the Great Hall, seasonal plates at the Gallery Kitchen, or unwind with a glass of Moët & Chandon at the Champagne Bar. Wine lovers can sample curated flights at the Yering Station Wine Bar, while dessert fans can indulge at the Häagen-Dazs cart.

The French Impressionism from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston exhibition at NGV Friday Nights is a rare fusion of art, music, and atmosphere, and should not be missed.
