Melbourne, Australia
National Gallery of Victoria
The oldest and most visited art museum in Australia, with a stained-glass ceiling worth lying down for.

International and Australian collections split across two buildings, with an ambitious commissioning programme. The Great Hall's ceiling by Leonard French is best appreciated flat on your back on the carpet — which is encouraged.
Opening hours and prices change regularly — always check the museum’s own site before you travel.
