melbourne - 8 dec 2013

36 photos!

we went to Queen Victoria Market on Sunday morning.
it's a huge fresh produce market for both the pros and the tourists.

gelato stand

mmm mushrooms

mmm cherries

one of the shops in the deli area

mounds of yummy looking stuff

famous bratwursts? R chose the cheese one... it was good

i got one of these next door

cheese and spinach - not that much filling

went to Federation Square - a random street performer - he's a comedian who comments on passerbys and invents stories about them.

at the National Gallery of Victoria - it's a huge and awesome art gallery

inside

part of the Melbourne Now exhibition where they showcase young artists' work. i caught the staff coming out the noren

this Gallery of Air is filled with different things that have some connection to air.
a very unconventional collection that makes you think about their link to air

a vintage Barbie air stewardess, balloon, etc.

old masterpieces and family photos and inflatable dolls

an interactive art piece where you have 5 pieces and you make your own necklace

no idea

a jarring and forceful piece - these are giant speakers and loads of lights - it would blast a very loud noise and light up at intervals.

i want that as a lamp for my living room

famous cardboard chair and mod dress
the attendants at the National Gallery talked to us - one invited us to steal some furniture. lol

a funny and clever piece - black tees printed with witty numbers/names referencing famous artists.

really nice flowers painted by Dutch masters

lots of art

the salon room

antique pieces.

bridge over the Yarra river... has a giant mistletoe over it

they're starting to do the "couple lock" thing on this bridge

more cafes

Chuckle Park - remind me to go next time

went to this Greek restaurant - Tsindos. had a waitress who was unhappy that we only shared an appetizer and told us to leave soon because "there was a reservation". R checked the reviews and saw that this waitress was rude to various customers.
