3 hours drive from Sydney to Canberra on my Toyota Corolla was worth it to watch the original paintings of Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Paul Cézanne, Pablo Picasso, Claude Monet etc. (The list goes on).
All these artists were called Post-impressionists as used real-life models, vivid brush strokes and colors and all these people were non-english speaking artists who came to Paris.
I no nothing about painting and I haven't tried my hand in painting and that's why I didn't choose to study Biology in HSC. But I was amazed the way these people thought in 19th centuary and that's the reason these paintings are still adored and they are priceless.
If you are an art lover and appreciate good paintings, then its worth making a trip to NGA, Canberra and the paintings are there till 10 April, 2010 else you have to goto Paris to see them.
