If you are looking to get away from the stress and craziness of the festive season, take a trip up to the beautiful and picturesque Marysville, just under 100km from Melbourne CBD. There you will find a world away from everything at the mesmerising and fascinating .

Beginning in the Gallery, you see that Bruno is a man of many talents, with beautiful paintings and sketches lining the walls. Take particular note of the "Selfish Portrait", "Puss in Books" and the lesser well known masterpiece, "Mary Lisa", whose eyes do more than follow you wherever you go - this is not just a gallery for the art connoisseur, but for those who also appreciate a little comedy. The Gallery also tells of the story of how Bruno saved much of the artwork on display and you will see that some of the paintings are still blackened.

After you have browsed through the gallery, head outside into the garden. It is a difficult task to be able to put into words, the feeling one gets when walking through Bruno's. Many of the sculptures were lovingly pieced together after being broken by fallen and burnt trees. The sculptures seem like at any minute they might reach out to you. Their faces hold you and feel as though you want to know more about them and what their story is. 6 years after the Black Saturday fires the replanted garden is flourishing and is the perfect place to be able to sit, unwind and take in the sounds and smells of nature.



Bruno's is a testament to the devastation of the fires but also of renewal and rebirth, shown through photo's of the garden post fire. It is truly a place of inspiration and if you are fortunate to be able to chat with Bruno himself you will see why.

Perfect for a solo tour, as a couple or with the family. Treat yourself and others to some peace, quiet and a bit of magic these holidays. On the weekend you can visit the Gallery & Garden for the price of admission, or the Garden only during the week.
