Frequently Asked Questions

The Museum will invoice your school or university. You are also welcome to pay at the Museum’s Reception on the day of your visit.

TarraWarra Museum of Art is open for bookings 10am–5pm, Tuesday to Friday.

The Museum is closed to the public on Mondays, however in certain circumstances we may be able to accommodate school bookings.

With prior booking, student groups can eat a snack on the lower deck near the ornamental lake, under teacher supervision. Students will need to take all their rubbish home afterwards.

The Museum is situated amongst a working vineyard in undulating terrain, so students need to move in a respectful and safe manner throughout the grounds under teacher supervision. There are many lovely parks in nearby Healesville where students can alternatively enjoy their lunch.

Please ask staff at Reception for a map noting these locations. Food or drink must not be consumed in the Museum for the protection of the artwork.

Students may use cameras and mobile devices to take photos of the exhibition for their personal use, unless otherwise signposted. For the protection of artworks, the use of tripods, flash and selfie sticks is not permitted. We recommend that students refrain from using their phones during tours so they can concentrate on looking, listening and actively engaging in conversation about the exhibition and the artworks. (Except for photographic purposes.)

We kindly request that all phones and electronic devices are set to silent before entering the Museum.

As part of your visit, our experienced educators will provide you with worksheets containing information relevant to your booking. Education resources are provided by the LE program for certain cohorts. Please enquire about the education resources suitable for your group. If you do plan on bringing a worksheet please ensure students use a grey lead pencil as pens are not permitted within the museum. Please inform the museum if you require clipboards for your visit.
