To celebrate all things marvellous Melbourne, we’ve curated a list of events that need to be on your “to-do” list.

MoMA AT NGV

After the success of the NGV triennial, all eyes are on the next exhibition, an exciting partnership with The Museum of Modern Art, New York.

At MoMA AT NGV: 130 years of modern and contemporary art, expect a collection of 200 of the Museum’s most iconic works from art’s most influential, revolutionary, rebellious names. This exhibition is unprecedented, one of the largest loans facilitated by MoMA and the first time more than half of the works have left the prestigious walls of the world-leading art gallery. From post-Impressionist art masters Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin and Paul Cézanne to Cubism’s founding father Pablo Picasso, Surrealists Salvador Dalí and Frida Kahlo, be prepared to take a journey through the rich and complex history of art. And of course, you can also expect artists of the 20th and 21st century from the likes of Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons, Keith Haring and Kara Walker.

MEL&NYC

You’ve heard this theory before: Sydney is the LA of Australia and Melbourne is the New York – the grittier, less polished city who plays by its own rules. The tie between these two vibrant cities is no more evident than this winter. Coinciding with the MoMA AT NGV: 130 years of modern and contemporary art, MEL&NYC is set to take over Melbourne with a massive city-wide festival that celebrates the strong cultural ties between Melbourne and Manhattan. Melburnian are set to be wowed with the program that includes everything from comedy, music, food, dance and writing, a line-up that features the likes of Ilana Glazer of Broad City and Regina Spektor. Key standouts also include the return of NGV Friday Nights with a jazzy twist, secret pop-up laneway gigs and a collaboration between David Chang’s restaurant Momofuku Ko and Andrew Mc Connell’s wine bar Marion.
