HANS HEYSEN UNPACKED

a new touring exhibition which “unpacks” and celebrates the life of Sir Hans Heysen.

9th October to 31st October 2020

You’ve heard of the Heysen Trail and perhaps the Heysen Tunnels, but do you know why they were given this name? The exhibition, Unpacking Hans Heysen, will give you those answers. “Unpacking Han Heysen” and is an engaging multi-modal display that tells the story of Hans Heysen from his arrival in Australia at the age of 7 to his death in 1968, and plenty of wonderful stories in-between! From his early career in Adelaide, to becoming one of the most highly regarded landscape artists of Australia, this exhibition will take you on a journey through the famous Adelaide Hills Artist’s education, creative processes, family life and more!
