About TarraWarra Museum of Art

TarraWarra Museum of Art is a leading not-for-profit public art gallery that features inventive and stimulating exhibitions and programs about twentieth and twenty-first century art, and holds one of the country’s most important collections of Australian art from the 1930s to the present day. The permanent collection was established through the generous donation of over 600 artworks by founding patrons, the late Marc Besen AC and Eva Besen AO. TarraWarra actively engages with art, place and ideas in a remarkable environment and immersive atmosphere, inspiring curiosity and providing a retreat for the imagination.

In 2025 TarraWarra will launch a major new building, the Eva and Marc Besen Centre. A breathtaking architectural concept designed by Kerstin Thompson Architects with landscape design by OCULUS and Wurundjeri horticulturalist and artist Craig Murphy-Wandin, the state-of-the-art building is a multi-purpose learning and performance space for family and children’s programs, talks, forums, workshops, live arts and educational programs.

The Centre will also offer a unique behind-the-scenes look at works from the TarraWarra Museum of Art collection. Presented in visible art storage racks, the general public will have viewing access to the works of some of Australia’s most significant modern and contemporary artists.
