Exhibitions

This nationla award winning major permanent interpretive exhibition has taken 5 years to complete. For the first time, the Aboriginal history of the region is taking pride of place as part of a rich and vibrant history of the Gascoyne, which extends back into the deep, pre-colonial human past.

Aboriginal culture, made up of many different language and skin groups, had never been given the prominence demanded by their long connection with the country. The exhibition was to be a place where they could tell stories, where they could welcome everyone to learn about their history and culture.
