The NGV receives $100 million donation from the Fox family for NGV Contemporary
The National Gallery of Victoria's new art gallery will be named The Fox: NGV Contemporary following a $100 million donation from the Fox family. The donation is the single largest cultural gift for a capital program ever made to an Australian art museum by a living donor. The NGV Contemporary is expected to be completed in 2028 and is set to be Australia's largest gallery.
Creative Industries Minister Danny Pearson says the donation is an extraordinary commitment: "It's a huge amount of money that's being contributed by the Fox family. And I think they recognise that a precinct like this is going to be transformation for our city and our state and our nation." Read more here.
