ELEGANT "CARTIER" NGV EXHIBITION + RELAXING LUNCH

August is for the letter H, which was a bit difficult as we've just been to Glenferrie in Hawthorn. Anyhoo, since the Melbourne Winter Masterpieces are hosting the Cartier exhibition, we thought this might be a good outing for our group, especially as I may just have found us another French cafe worth trying and budget-friendly. (We visited Roule Galette last time, and members were delighted by the food.) 11am: Meet at the foyer of NGV International (180 St. Kilda Road opp. the Queen Victoria Gardens) near the golden sculpture / waterfall feature. Purchase your ticket if you plan to see the Cartier exhibition. Ticketing info here: [CARTIER: Melbourne Winter Masterpieces® 2026 | NGV](https://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/exhibition/cartier/#) There are also free exhibitions available if you're not keen on Cartier. [Exhibitions | NGV](https://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/whats-on/exhibitions/) We will meander through the exhibition on our own at our own pace (because we're introverts) and meet back at 12.30pm at the foyer. 12.30pm: Proceed to lunch as a group. The place I have in mind for lunch is Croque Monsieur on Flinders Lane. It's the little brother to Roule Galette. No guarantees we'll get a table as it's Saturday lunchtime and Flinders Lane is usually packed, but we shall see. There are always other options in the area, just not necessarily French.:) Check out the menu here: [Home](https://www.croquemonsieur.com.au/) 2pm: End of event. **Cost:** There is an organizer fee of $10 for this event. Feel free to bring cash on the day or PayID me (Serena Low) at 0403 413 056. Ticket to the Cartier exhibition is at member's own expense, as are food and drinks. **Getting there:** The closest train station is Flinders St Station (6 min).
