★★★★★6 months agoA lovely, relaxing non-commercial private musuem + artist workshops/studios under the ITI collective right in the middle of town next to the residential Mt Emily Park. Recommend to check the website for information on their free guided tours to understand the art collections/ collecting principles.

★★★★★a year agoAlthough it was pretty far away from public transport and I had to hike a bit to get there, it was totally worth it. The artworks are very thought provoking and I would highly recommend for you to go there. There was no wait time and no need to book.
