Heide Museum of Modern Art, set within fifteen acres of parkland and landscaped gardens that stretch from the original farmhouse down to the banks of the Yarra River, has a rich artistic and social history. Open to the public all year round, Heide's beautiful gardens offer a space for family enjoyment and individual reflection, as well as incorporating a sculpture park and several heritage listed gardens.
There are over 30 stunning sculptures to discover across the 15 acre site including works by Anish Kapoor, Anthony Caro and Neil Taylor. Jeff Thomson’s iconic Cows (1987) are a playful reminder of the museum’s dairy farm origins.
Heide gardens and sculpture park stretch right down to the Yarra River.
