Amelia Dimitrovski from Gungahlin, who was visiting the exhibition for a second time with her six -week-old baby Andre, was the 150,000th visitor to the exhibition.
She received a bottle of Moet.
"We were completely surprised to receive such special treatment at the gallery today,"' Mrs Dimitrovski said. "'Even with a new baby I wanted to get a second look at this beautiful show before it closes. And you are never too young to experience magnificent art."
And that's not the end of it.
The NGA is predicting bumper visitor numbers in the finals two weeks of the exhibition, reaching close to 200,000 by the time the exhibition ends on Easter Monday, April 17.
The NGA said the show's final attendance tally would include thousands of school children who see the exhibition for free as well as visitors to the many events and programs.
Visitors from across Australia and the world have marvelled at the opulent paintings, sculptures, furniture and other treasures from the French palace since the exhibition opened in early December.
Once the exhibition is over, the beautiful objects head back to France.
There is only two weeks left to view these unique treasures before the exclusive exhibition returns to France.
Tickets can be purchased at the NGA or via Ticketek.
