Monday, September 8, 2025 (continued)
At the rear or east end of Federation Square is National Gallery of Victoria/Ian Potter Centre (2002). A young man at the reception desk tried to help us find where certain paintings were located. This art gallery is not very user-friendly, because they do not label the artwork. Often you had to find a digital device and scan through pictures to find any information. We wanted to see the most prominent Australian artists.
At this point I needed to rest my hip, so Kent was the one dashing from digital device to painting and back, taking photos.
