Australians love their private art museums. In the financial capital of Sydney, there is White Rabbit Gallery displaying contemporary Chinese art. Tasmania is home to the largely subterranean Museum of Old and New Art, owned by eccentric professional gambler David Walsh. In the coastal city of Melbourne, there is the exceptional TarraWarra Museum of Art and the much-loved Heide Museum of Modern Art.
