Have a look at the sheer scale of this amazing artwork painted by a number of aboriginal artists whom collaborated to produce it. This is a photo I took last year at the NGV with my daughter sitting in front so you can appreciate it's enormity. Talk about the WOW factor. If only I had a room large enough to put it in.

I love people's commitment to art! I recently read an article about a house that is also an art museum so that the owners can share their love of art with others. Not only that but from Google Maps the house reveals the word 'ART' through it's architecture which was designed by the award winning architectural firm Lyons - now that is truly thinking outside the box. This is a must see with only 22 people allowed each tour. Booking is essential and the Lyons housemuseum is open Monday's and Tuesday's.  Go to http://lyonhousemuseum.com.au/
