TarraWarra Museum of Art

TarraWarra Museum of Art is one of the Yarra Valley’s most distinctive cultural experiences, bringing modern and contemporary Australian art into a landscape of vineyards, hills and open sky.

Set on Wurundjeri Country in Healesville, TarraWarra Museum of Art gives guests a quieter way to experience the region beyond the cellar door. The Museum presents modern and contemporary exhibitions, visible art storage, guided tours, sculpture, architecture and grounds that look across the surrounding mountain ranges, native bushland and farmland.

Why visit TarraWarra Museum of Art

TarraWarra Museum of Art suits guests who want to add art, design and landscape to their Yarra Valley stay. It is a thoughtful option for couples, solo travellers, small groups and international visitors who are interested in Australian culture, architecture and the way the region’s natural setting shapes the experience.

The Museum has an intimate scale, which makes it easy to explore without needing a full day. Guests can move through current exhibitions, spend time in the Eva and Marc Besen Centre, book a guided tour or walk through the outdoor grounds and sculptures during opening hours. It is especially rewarding for visitors who enjoy slower travel, where the experience is less about ticking off stops and more about noticing the place.

How to get there

TarraWarra Museum of Art is located at 313 Healesville-Yarra Glen Road, Healesville. From Yarra Valley Lodge, allow approximately 25 minutes by car. The Museum sits between Yarra Glen and Healesville, making it easy to pair with a winery lunch, a visit to Healesville, or a gentle afternoon drive through the Valley before returning to the Lodge.
