The Heide Museum of Modern Art

Gaz and I took advantage of the sunny and warm weather very unusual for a winter's day, by going to the Heide Museum of Modern Art today. The Heide is located on Templestowe Road, Bulleen. The stretch of road was particularly busy that Saturday and it took us almost 10 minutes to find a break in the traffic to turn into the museum grounds.

You might wonder why we would be spending our time indoors in a museum when I had mentioned earlier it was a sunny and warm day (which is a godsend after enduring months of cold drab winter days). The Heide has a large outdoor sculpture garden on the premises, and we spent most of our time wandering from one sculpture to another. My favourite is titled 'Rings of Saturn', a large shiny metal sculpture of circles twisting round and about. It is surrounded by a few white globes not far from it.

We also visited the kitchen garden, where produce such as cabbage, lettuce, asparagus, spring onions were grown. Did you know that asparagus grows sticking out of the ground like that? I didn't.

Lettuce growing abundantly, they're so fresh and sweet to the taste buds.


We laid out the picnic mat and basked in the sun for a little bit. It was wonderful enjoying the green lawn and the gold sun. And the shiny silver of Saturn's Rings.
