Heide Museum of Modern Art

Heide Museum of Modern Art celebrates the legacy of Australia's modernist movement across 16 acres of heritage gardens and three distinct gallery buildings. Founded in 1981, it now houses 3,500 works and draws 120,000 visitors annually—a remarkable density of 7,500 visitors per acre, outperforming Queensland Art Gallery and GOMA in per-hectare engagement. Its 2025 exhibition budget of $1.8 million is 25% higher than the average Melbourne museum.
