Featuring more than eighty ambitious and thought-provoking projects, including major new commissions, the 2026 NGV Triennial offers a global journey through contemporary art and design.
Unfolding across all four levels of NGV International, the fourth NGV Triennial brings together the work of some of the most respected artists and designers from around the world, while amplifying the voices of emerging talents. Spanning painting, video, sculpture, installation, fashion, textiles, ceramics and design, the exhibition places contemporary works in dialogue with the NGV’s historical collections.
Across the exhibition, artists and designers explore transformation in its many forms – material, cultural, technological, personal, political and societal – revealing the present as a site of continuous change. These works invite us to slow down, participate and sharpen our attention.
