NGV

NGV commonly refers to the National Gallery of Victoria, one of Australia’s leading public art museums. Based in Melbourne, it was established in 1861 and is regarded as the oldest and largest public gallery in the state. The institution maintains two main sites: NGV International on St Kilda Road, which houses international modern and contemporary art, and the Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia at Federation Square, focused on Australian Indigenous and non-Indigenous art. The NGV holds a diverse and frequently rotating program of major exhibitions, installations, and collections that trace Australian art history and connect it with global art movements. It also offers education programs, researchers access, and public events.

In the transportation sector, NGV most commonly stands for Natural Gas Vehicle, a vehicle powered by compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG). Natural gas vehicles can reduce emissions relative to conventional gasoline or diesel and may lower fuel costs, depending on local prices. Adoption is common in fleet operations, buses, taxis, and material-handling equipment, particularly where refueling infrastructure is available. Limitations include reduced driving range on a full tank and the need for specialized refueling equipment.

In other contexts, NGV may denote different entities or concepts, so the intended meaning should be inferred from surrounding context.
