Public Tour

Featuring contemporary painting and sculpture by Australian Aboriginal artists, Ancestral Modern celebrates the renaissance that has occurred since the 1970s within the millennia-old traditions of indigenous Australian art. Come explore how artists have translated motifs from traditional art forms, such as rock and body painting, to media that can be more easily shared with viewers—communicating beliefs and histories, laws and rituals, and a profound connection to the land.

Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the start of the tour. Our tours can accommodate large groups, but we encourage you to check-in with our Visitor Services Desk to secure your place.
