GALLERIES IN VICTORIA

The core of Heide’s art collection comprises modernist works collected by Heide’s founders John and Sunday Reed, by artists as diverse in practice as Sam Atyeo, Charles Blackman, Mike Brown, Joy Hester, Sidney Nolan, Edwin Tanner, Albert Tucker, Danila Vassilieff and Fred Williams, and a younger generation including Les Kossatz, Col Jordan and Sydney Ball.

The collection has since expanded through individual gifts and the donation of private collections, and now represents contemporary artists including Peter Booth, Patricia Piccinini, Hany Armanious and Rosalie Gascoigne. Heide’s large collection of outdoor sculpture includes works by Rick Amor, Inge King and Anish Kapoor.

Heide also holds artefacts, ephemera and archives relating to the artists closely associated with its history.

Bus/Coach Parking
The parking at Heide is not suitable for buses so we advise bus and coach drivers to park in the bays on Templestowe Road, immediately preceding the entrance to the museum at 7 Templestowe Road (alongside picket fence).

Heide Museum of Modern Art welcomes visitors with disabilities and our staff will do everything possible to provide all visitors with a positive experience. Please contact the museum on (03) 9850 1500 if you have questions or to discuss your access requirements. Access to the museum and surrounding gardens can be challenging as Heide consists of a group of buildings on a sloping site, including two heritage-listed buildings which were originally private residences.
