About Heide Museum of Modern Art
The Heide Museum of Modern Art, also known as Heide, is an art museum in Bulleen, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Established in 1981, the museum exhibits modern and contemporary art across three buildings and is set within sixteen acres of heritage-listed gardens and a sculpture park.
The museum occupies the site of a former dairy farm, purchased by arts benefactors John and Sunday Reed in 1934. Heide became the gathering place for a collective of young modernist painters known as the Heide Circle, which included Sidney Nolan, John Perceval, Albert Tucker and Joy Hester, who often stayed in the Reeds' 19th-century farmhouse, now known as Heide I.
