Norman Lindsay Gallery
NORMAN LINDSAY GALLERY , Faulconbridge, via Springwood, Blue Mountains
Set in extensive grounds, the single storey house with its external painting and etching studios was the home of Norman Lindsay (1879-1969), one of Australia’s most controversial, exceptional and prolific artists. It was here that he created etchings, oils, watercolours, sculptures, the fine ship models which he made as a pastime, and where he wrote the children’s classic, The Magic Pudding. Over the years, Lindsay transformed his estate, adding classical colonnades and a Roman courtyard to the house, and sculpting nymphs, satyrs and fountains to embellish the grounds.
The property is presented by the National Trust as a Gallery, filled with Lindsay’s works. The etching studio 
(1913) and main painting studio (1918) contain Lindsay’s brushes, canvases and printing press.
