The Cedars
The history of Sir Hans Heysen
The Cedars is a gracious old home still owned by the Heysen family.
It houses a fine collection of paintings and drawings by Sir Hans Heysen - one of Australia’s foremost landscape artists.
Also on the grounds, see Heysen’s working studio, built in 1912 and used by this iconic painter until his death in 1968. See his painting materials, tools, sketches and notes.
The rambling cottage garden is part of the South Australian Open Garden Scheme. A walking trail is also featured on the 60-hectare property and directs visitors to favourite painting sites used by the artist.
The studio of Nora Heysen (Archibald prize winner and daughter of Hans) is also open for viewing and features continuous exhibitions of her work.
