TarraWarra Museum of Art, Contemporary art museum in Healesville, Australia.
The TarraWarra Museum of Art is a contemporary art venue in Healesville set on a hilltop overlooking vineyards and forested ranges. The complex includes exhibition galleries, a learning center, performance spaces, and areas where visitors can view artworks in storage and conservation.
The museum opened in 2003 as a contemporary art space and later expanded with the Eva and Marc Besen Centre. This extension added public storage areas, a learning facility, and performance venues that broadened what the institution could offer.
The museum supports contemporary Australian artists through its exhibition program and educational initiatives. Visitors encounter works that reflect the art being made across the country today.
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and sits atop a hill with ample parking on the grounds. Weekday visits tend to be quieter, and the surrounding landscape invites time to walk around the property.
Visitors can step behind the scenes and observe how artworks are stored, conserved, and managed in the building. These public storage areas reveal the work that typically remains hidden from view in most museums.
