Heide Museum of Modern Art is a unique space – a synthesis of indoor and outdoor environments, a place of modern and contemporary art and design, with a rich and colourful art heritage and social history.
The Heide site comprises 16 acres of buildings, gardens and sculpture park presenting a dramatic combination of indoor and outdoor spaces. There’s much to explore including: the recently redeveloped Heide III building featuring the Central Galleries, Albert & Barbara Tucker Gallery and Kerry Gardner & Andrew Myer Project Gallery; the iconic McGlashan and Everist designed modernist building, Heide II; the heritage-listed, Victorian farmhouse, Heide I; and Heide’s gardens, with the much-loved Kitchen Garden, Sculpture Park, heritage-listed Osage Orange groves and Yarra frontage extending to the famous Heidelberg Artists’ Trail and nearby bicycle paths.
How to get there:Located just 15 minutes from Melbourne’s CBD, Heide is one of Australia’s leading public art museums and offers a tranquil, surprising and always stimulating place to visit.
