Heysen Legacy Lives at New Adelaide Gallery | Adelaide News

A nine-million-dollar dream realized: The Cedars gallery in the Adelaide Hills opens with a dazzling tribute to Hans and Nora Heysen, featuring their entire artistic legacy. Hans, who spent six decades envisioning this space, finally gets his wish—with family at the helm. The gallery’s wild backstory includes a painting so loved by prima ballerina Anna Pavlova she offered a blank check… only to send it back over a bowl she deemed “wrong.” Once a glittering hub for legends like Olivier, Leigh, Hillary, and Melba, The Cedars now boasts climate-controlled archives, a workshop, and rotating exhibits, aiming to skyrocket visitor numbers beyond last year’s 14,000. Nestled into the landscape, it preserves the Heysens’ historic studios and home—and even plans weddings. A must-see for art lovers and history buffs alike.
