 * Hi Rob Thank you for your excellent work on the NGV entry in Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Gallery_of_Victoria ). I just showed it to some of the NGV Multimedia team, and they were very impressed. Please pass our thanks onto the other contributors, if that is possible. Jonathan O'Donnell, NGV Multimedia

National Gallery of Victoria Art School
Just updating the Sidney Nolan article and there seems no article on the National Gallery of Victoria Art School which at the very least could be a sub-section of this article. Notable alumni other then Nolan include (based on a Google search): --Matilda talk 23:10, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * David Boyd attended National Gallery of Victoria Art School 1944-45. He was recognised as a master potter ...
 * Margaret Preston - in 1893 enrolled at the National Gallery of Victoria Art School
 * Fred Williams - Williams attended the National Gallery of Victoria Art School for his initial training at age 16.
 * Emanuel Phillips Fox - After completing studies at the National Gallery of Victoria Art School, Fox travelled to Europe in 1887 to further his training
 * Arthur Streeton - Streeton trained at the National Gallery of Victoria's art school but soon tired of academic instruction


 * Aha - now Victorian College of the Arts - I will update that article's history page and reference its beginnings in this article.--Matilda talk 23:14, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Change 1850
Might be too pedantic or too much info for a Museum page...

Currently says;
 * Victoria gained independence from New South Wales in 1850, and in the wake of the Victorian gold rush that began the following year, it became Australia's richest colony, and Melbourne, its capital, the largest and wealthiest city in Australia.

I’ll change it to;
 * Victoria gained independence from New South Wales in 1850 (effective 1 July 1851). In the wake of the Victorian gold rush that began in (August) 1851, Victoria became Australia's richest colony, and Melbourne, its capital, the largest and wealthiest city in Australia.

I’m not convinced I’ve solved it; (i) I left in “Victorian” in “Victorian gold rush” to distinguish it from NSW gold rush (May 1851), and (ii) the phrasing can still be read as Melbourne being the capital of Australia. MBG02 (talk) 19:48, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
