Guidelines for conduct of school and group visitors
To preserve our collection and visiting artworks, we ask that students (and other group visitors) observe the following guidelines for conduct:
The Museum does not provide cloaking services. Please refrain from bringing large school bags and other bulky items to the Museum as they can cause accidental damage to artworks. School groups will be allocated a space for bags if visiting the Museum for a half or full day.
We encourage students to enjoy the Gallery at a leisurely pace - please do not run.
To ensure the safety of the artworks, and in consideration of other visitors, we ask that movement through the Gallery be orderly and considerate.
Pencils will be distributed to your group. Leave your folders, ballpoint or felt-tipped pens and pencil cases in your bags at the main desk. Remember to return pencils following your education session.
Ballpoint and felt-tipped pens contain ink that is difficult to remove from most surfaces. For this reason, we prefer students to use pencils in the Gallery.
Students may take photographs outside the gallery spaces.
The Gallery maintains a controlled environment where the atmosphere and light levels are regulated to prolong the physical life of the Collection. Works of art are particularly sensitive to dramatic changes in light levels. Using a flash can rapidly increase the rate of deterioration of a work of art. Postcards of some works are available from the Heide Store.
We encourage people to stay a metre away from the art.
Art works are very fragile and can be permanently damaged by even the gentlest touch. When someone touches the surface of an art work, their fingers deposit skin greases and salts which can, over time, cause damage. Sometimes a viewer may want to point to share something that has caught their interest. If they are too close, an accidental touch will damage and eventually destroy the very art that excited the visitor in the first place.
Food and drink is not allowed inside the Gallery.
The grassy paddock area outside the Sidney Myer Education Centre is the ideal place for groups to eat lunch. Alternatively, the Heide Café is a great place for smaller groups to purchase lunch and morning or afternoon tea. Contact Heide Café to make a group booking: T 03 9852 2346
Bus parking
Bus and coach drivers are advised to park in the bays on Templestowe Road, immediately preceding the entrance to Heide’s Upper Car Park at 7 Templestowe Road (alongside picket fence). Due to limited availability of space, Heide’s car parks are not suitable for buses.
Visitors with impaired mobility can be dropped off in the Federation Way Car Park (entry via Banksia Park, 5 Templestowe Road), however buses should then return to Templestowe Road to park.
Please contact Visitor Services for more information
