TarraWarra Museum of Art |

TarraWarra Museum of Art captures the vision of its founders, philanthropists, the late Marc Besen AC and Eva Besen AO, passionate collectors of Australian art from the 1950s.
Not only did they gift the building that houses the Museum, but also a significant proportion of their collection of modern and contemporary Australian art for the enjoyment of all visitors from Australia and abroad.
'Tarrawarra' is a Woiwurrung word that translates approximately as 'slow moving water' and is the name given to the area within the Yarra Valley in which the Museum is located.
Since opening its doors to the public on 18 December 2003, TarraWarra Museum of Art has been one of the cultural jewels in the Yarra Valley, providing visitors with a relaxing and enjoyable experience comprising of both stunning architecture and a diverse program of exhibitions and events.
Eva and Marc Besen Centre
On Tuesday 4 March 2025 the Museum will open its doors to a major new building, the Eva and Marc Besen Centre.
A unique and breathtaking architectural concept designed by Kerstin Thompson Architects will include the visible storage of over 300 artworks from the Museum's collection, a learning centre and a performance space.
Upon arrival, you can absorb the panoramic display of 64 storage racks holding the work of some of Australia's most significant artists, and book yourself an art tour. The new multi-purpose learning and performance space will host family and children's programs, talks, forums, workshops, live arts and educational programs.
