We enjoyed a wonderful historic place. From the gallery to the painting and etching studios and the garden sculptures in the grounds. Works so diverse from the nudes to The Magic Pudding. Our tour guide was very informative.

Our tour guide gave a great insight into Norman Lindsay's life and career. We were taken into the painting studio and the etchings room. The original house is now the gallery for paintings left in the house. I can only say that it was well worth doing and
Hubby and I highly recommend it.

Norman Lindsay Gallery was such an interesting place. The guide bought the life of Norman Lindsay to life for me. I'm not an art person but I really enjoyed our car club's visit.

This is such a beautiful place to visit. We got a guided tour of 2 of the studios and it was so interesting! If you enjoy local artists I highly recommend it!

I visited the gallery as a young girl and found it interesting. I was recently in the area with my children and they pointed out the sign to the gallery. I told them I had been there when I was younger. They asked if they could go. I explained to them we probably couldn't go in as it was mid afternoon but we may be able to see the house from the driveway. My youngest has autism and loves art. They were happy with that. We drove in the driveway to see the house from the outside and there was a car driving out I presumed maybe another visitor till the window was rolled down and the lady asked in the most rudest tone possible " what were you after?". I explained i was just letting my kids take a look at the house from the outside. She replied with " well were closed you need to leave". I apologize and we left. Firstly, you work in a gallery so people coming by to have look is going to be a common occurrence. Secondly, if your not a people person maybe look into a different career path. Thirdly, dont inflict your negativity on people trying to enjoy their day. So rude so I won't be taking my kids back.

We have wanted to visit this gallery for a long time, and we were not disappointed. Seeing his paintings and sculptures that we have seen in books in real life, gave us goosebumps. Anna the volunteer guide was exceptional. Thank you

National Trust managed home and studio of Norman and Rose Lindsay. Here you can see the sculptures in their garden settings as well as the ones that are still uncast in concrete the way he designed them. It’s always exciting to see the etchings press that Rose worked to create the numbered Lindsay prints. The ship models are here as are the marionette puppets from The Magic Pudding. I have been coming here every year of my life. I have also read many of Norman’s novels. The art gallery and museum is a great window into their world. Bring a picnic and walk through the bush to talk about your impressions of this special part of Australiana.

A very interesting tour of an eccentric Australian artist. Wasn’t the biggest fan of his subject matter, but it was fascinating seeing all the different mediums he used to create art. Also interesting was the preserved house, painting studio and etching shed. Great volunteers, very friendly and informative. The gardens were the highlight of my visit, they were stunning and so well kept.
