Heide Museum Of Modern Art

Unclaimed

The museum was absolutely wonderful, the grounds are phenomenal, completely worth the trip, and such an interesting insight into art in Melbourne. The molto bello exhibition was marvellous, very well curated and beautifully displayed. The only let down was the cafe, we waited over 30 minutes for an order they had to keep coming back and confirming or changing due to a lack of what we wanted off the menu, and when it eventually came the chicken schnitzel was quite burnt and dry. For the cost of the food slightly disappointing, next time I go, I'll bring a picnic.

My mum and I went to the Molto Bello exhibition before it finishes tomorrow - a really good collection of 1950-80s era home decor and vehicles! The Heide cottage and gardens were also super nice. The cafe does good coffee and a nice selection of food for reasonable prices. Some of the pieces were *covered* in dust. Surely there's a daily check of this? Especially the lamps or lighter pieces, you could see the layer of dust on everything. It kind of took away from it a little and was just disappointing to see, really. It wouldn't take much for a couple of staff to do a walk around in the morning, but alas. The MAJOR downside is the parking situation. Seriously under allocated. We arrived at 11 (and it opens at 10) and I was pushed for a park. I went down to the lower carpark closer to the museum entrance, where I had to turnaround on a back road and then come up back up the one way? one lane? road and drive up over the garden as other cars were going down. I eventually parked squashed up against a tree (yet to check for scratches..)

Discovered this museum just by riding along the Yarra and of course I decided to visit it. The building itself is very good, a brutalist form surrounded by a very nice sculpture park. I did not have much time but I wandered around the galleries, that had very interesting and captivating artworks, many of them regarding aboriginal lives. Definitely recommended!

Had a beautiful experience with my baby attending the Heide Baby Class. The museum itself is a hidden gem. Lovely sculptures and landscaping set atop a hill. The story of Sunday and her lover and how the museum came to be was particularly enchanting, and to experience what it is today was captivating. The tour guides were highly engaging for both bub and parents. We learnt so much about the location, art origins and garden. The cafe has an amazing selection of brunch and lunch options. Coffee was delicious. Such a peaceful place. We look forward to visiting again soon ⭐

Really great place. Quiet and secretive location. A beautiful modern art outdoor sculpture park with a variety of different flora and fauna with a lake nearby that has Wood Ducks! ❤️ Heide Cafe next door for a quick coffee and dessert with lovely flat walking trails. Abundant trees surround this park, each having their own character. Smaller children may be bored, but a really lovely place for a picnic, a family day out, a romantic walk or even if you're looking to get your nature dose, highly recommend this entire park!
