The Mosman Art Trail is a self-guided 10km circuit featuring illustrated signage of artworks from the Mosman Art Collection and The Balnaves Gift. As you stroll at your own pace, enjoy audio recordings narrated by actor Claudia Karvan that bring each artwork's history to life. The trail is suitable for most ages, with some steps on certain sections, and offers a child-friendly map to keep younger explorers engaged.
