2023 Melbourne Winter Masterpieces Exhibition and Annie Smithers on her NGV Residency and Ten Years of du Fermier

More than 100 works by Post-Impressionist painter Pierre Bonnard are coming to the NGV – and the first have been unveiled. Influential architect India Mahdavi has designed a scenography that’ll feel like you’ve stepped into one of Bonnard’s iridescent paintings, often depicting quiet scenes of domestic life and intimacy. Exhibition co-curator Meg Slater joins Around Town with the details. Then, one of Australia's most celebrated chefs, Annie Smithers, jumps on the podcast to chat through her four-month residency at the NGV's garden restaurant. 

Featured on today's show: 

• Pierre Bonnard: Designed by India Mahdavi
• Annie Smithers at the NGV
