Established on the former Bulleen dairy farm purchased by art patrons John and Sunday Reed in 1934. Heide I (1934) became a gathering place for the Heide Circle of artists including Sidney Nolan, Albert Tucker, Joy Hester and Danila Vassilieff, associated with the Angry Penguins modernist movement. Heide II (1967) was built as a modernist gallery-home. The property opened as Heide Park and Art Gallery in 1981 and later became Heide Museum of Modern Art, preserving the Reeds' legacy in Australian modernism.

One of Australia's most important sites for modern and contemporary art, known for its association with the development of Australian modernism and the Heide Circle. Holds a significant collection of Australian art from the 1930s to present, and presents exhibitions, public programs and education activities within a cultural landscape combining art, architecture and gardens.
