Friday Nights at the NGV

When it comes to culture in Melbourne, you can’t walk down the street without being smothered in it.

It’s all part and parcel of the fallacy being awarded Most Liveable City and to be honest, we wouldn’t have any other way.

From the street art to the food porn, Melbourne is awash with culture, something that’s hard to find in any other capital around the country. There is something about the rubbish weather and the efficient tram system that really gives back to the community and creates a space for the creative minds to run free.

Depending on how you spend your Friday nights, you may be looking at really stocking your start of your weekend with a new flex…
