Today (Tuesday 11 March) marks the next step in the shaping of a new era for the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), as ground has been formally broken on the site of The Fox: NGV Contemporary.

The lead contractor has been announced, meaning work can commence on the next expansion of the NGV, which is intended to be a cornerstone of Melbourne’s arts precinct and the Southbank site redevelopment. Lendlease has been awarded the contract to commence construction for what will be the largest gallery dedicated to contemporary art and design in Australia.
