Welcome to the website of the Institute of Backyard Studies.

The Institute is dedicated to studying backyard culture in Australia and around the world. Here you will find information about the Institute's many projects - including sheds and shed culture, various publications, gallerys of photos taken around Australia's backyards, and the works of Henry Hoke.

Why not take some time to explore our shed? Just like any good Aussie shed, it's crammed full of stuff. And there's more appearing all the time.
