Heide Museum of Modern Art, Museum in Bulleen, Melbourne, Australia.

The museum spans sixteen acres along the Yarra River, featuring three main buildings, heritage gardens, and a sculpture park displaying modern Australian and international artworks.

Originally established as a dairy farm in the 1870s, the property was purchased by John and Sunday Reed in 1934 and transformed into Australia's most influential modernist art hub.

The site served as a creative meeting place for renowned Australian artists including Sidney Nolan, Albert Tucker, and Joy Hester during the 1940s and 1950s modernist movement.

The museum operates Tuesday to Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm, located approximately 10 kilometers from Melbourne's city center with public transport access and parking facilities.

The museum houses Heide II, a modernist residence designed as 'a gallery to be lived in,' exemplifying the integration of art, architecture, and daily life.
