Take a guided tour of the house and historic working studio of Australian landscape artist Sir Hans Heysen.
The Cedars is a gracious old home still owned by the Heysen family. It houses a fine collection of paintings and drawings displaying Heysen's remarkable versatility in subject and medium. Also on the grounds, see Heysen's working studio, built in 1912 and used by this iconic painter until his death in 1968. See his painting materials and tools, sketches, notes and more.
The rambling cottage garden is part of the South Australian Open Garden Scheme but is open for enjoyment. A walking trail is also featured on the 60 hectare property and directs visitors to favourite painting sites used by the artist.
The studio of Nora Heysen (Archibald prize winner and daughter of Hans) is also open for viewing and features continuous exhibitions of her work.
Guided tours of the house and studio daily at 11am, 1pm and 3pm from September to May and 11am and 2pm from June to August. Coach and mini bus tours available by arrangement.
