Online bookings recommended...i think all the weekends are now booked out. Interesting, especially evolution of style, clothing in beautiful condition, but for me the negatives outweighed the positives. Crowded +++. Many items were displayed... More

We visited this Art Gallery in May 2012, while the Grace Kelly exhibition was one. As 'drop ins' we stood no chance of getting a ticket to this exhibition - it was sold out, so we contented ourselves by walking around the gallery. It is great, nice collection well curated.

The Grace Kelly exhibition was attended by women at a ratio of about 40:1 men. But, guys, don't be put off. It is an exquisite collection beautifully presented. Yupp, the frocks are gorgeous, and the accompanying photos of Grace wearing them gave them a sense of reality. Her Best Actress Oscar was on display too. I'd never seen one before... More

For the third time I have travelled to Bendigo from Sydney, gathering up friends and relatives to take them to the stunning Bendigo Art Gallery. Its ability to gather special exhibitions using V&A and Grimaldi material is amazing. Friends have said the regular exhibits are exceptional too, though they're not my bag. Grace was just gorgeous, and the place was... More

Once again this little city has done it! Tasteful, elegant and beautiful - just like Grace Kelly herself. An honest look at the movie star, mum, wife and princess. Up close and real; Much better than seeing it in a magazine. More

I loved the exhibition - fantastic to see her dresses, jewellery, shoes and bags, plus a wonderful film about her life with home movies of the children. More

This is the second exhibition I have been to at the Bendigo Art Gallery. Both have been extremely well organised. We learnt on our first visit it is necessary to book for lunch in the gallery cafe or you are disappointed! More
