Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- Dr Sudath Kondasinghe PhysicianAustralia21 contributionsVery good place for kids to spend the day indoors during winter school holidays. Lots to see and do. You have to go out of the premises to have food. Must visit place at least once.

There were many more inventions on display than I expected. It was well presented with lots of information and activates to engage with.Written 24 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Chloe henderson1 contributionWe enjoyed immensely speaking with Alexis, who was extremely knowledgeable on Aboriginal art history. This was the most extensive collection of Aboriginal art that we saw on our journeys throughout Australia.
Like ourselves you will probably walk out with more than one painting!Written 4 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Contemporary art often has a meaning that is difficult to discern at first contemporary art is in the process of supplanting Modernism. Contemporary art is often clever, with Australian theme. The Gallery is in walking distance of the NGV.Written 23 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- kerie wMelbourne, Australia5 contributionsI gave the Street Art workshop as a birthday gift to my 12-year-old daughter and 18-year-old niece. That had so much fun and without any experience produced a great piece of art. Thank you Blender Studios for making their day so much fun! Great gift idea!Written 11 August 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Evan G35 contributionsI'd heard about Printism through friends that go to the Sth Melbourne market and wanted to see for myself.
Was very impressed with the amazing artwork, the variables in which you can get them framed etc and the level of knowledge about the works.
Can highly recommend a visit to the South Melb Market just to see the artwork and friendly team at PrintismWritten 28 April 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There was a joint exhibition between RMIT and HK schools and it was rather interesting and also made good use of the exhibition space. So yes, for us it was worth spending a hour or so there.Written 15 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jeffry bEssendon, Australia13,536 contributionsIncinerator Gallery is a center for art and culture in Melbourne's northwestern suburbs. The Incinerator Gallery was architecturally designed by an American couple, Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin. The Moonee Valley incinerator was an industrial facility that was designed to be attractive. These days, exhibitions and functions are held on a regular basis. Art Mondo will be held in June; it will bring visitors in an early stage of dementia and their carers together; the Incinerator Gallery will support the visitors as they participate in this cultural and culture function. The Incinerator Gallery holds diverse exhibitions and functions, it's always worth visiting.Written 15 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Elizabeth HMelbourne, Australia168 contributionsIt amazes me that this place isn’t overrun with people but I know why. It’s a little more difficult to find but worth it. Which is so typically Melbourne.....so many Dickensian side lanes.
If you love beautifully made, local craft with a design bent, this is your place. Party quirky partly elegant. Some of Melbournes better artists sell their stuff here. Jewellery and pottery is a key feature. Check out the ridiculously beautiful porcelain cups and saucers or vases by Vanessa Lucas for instance. Take home a unique present for someone back home that you can’t find elsewhere.Written 27 December 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

"Desire Lines," curated by Sean Lynch, runs from 15 March to 26 July 2023. The City Gallery is compact, but it's always interesting. Entry is free.Written 1 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Vicki JWoodend, Australia572 contributionsHave been visiting this gallery for years and have got some beautiful works of art from here as well. You are guaranteed quality work from this gallery, very experienced operators. The current exhibition of modern Australian art is worth a look, the gallery is in a wonderful old building a stones throw from the famous Lygon Street. We had the place to ourselves being near closing time on a week night we were offered tea on arrival and given all the time we needed to enjoy the art on display.Written 4 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jeffry bEssendon, Australia13,536 contributionsFlinders Street Station has a distinctive mural created by artist Mirka Mora, which attracts suburban train travelers moving through the city. Mirka Mora was commissioned in 1986 by the Department of Transportation to create a mural that made things interesting for Melburnians in Flinders St Station. Mirka Mora was European by origin, but she was a much-loved artist in Australia. Her mural is quirky, it's her own view of the world.Written 17 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Alys-SchatziMelbourne, Australia842 contributionsRecently I met someone connected with this retail gallery and I realised just how long Silver K has existed: it has been trading for more than 30 years. The shopfront premises are on the main retail street of the inner-eastern suburb of Armadale; you can get there on the #6 tram from the city.
Silver K specialises in animation artwork, pop culture, and rock and roll photography. Images of the Beatles, Rolling Stones and Marilyn Monroe are perennial sellers. The retail hours are Wednesday to Sunday from late morning until 5pm. Once in a while there is a special exhibition (with an entry charge). Keep an eye on the website.Written 21 June 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
