Red Heart of Australia

Red Heart of Australia is an exhibition of eight paintings, created by Aboriginal artists from across central Australia. The paintings were selected from the National Museum of Australia’s vast collection.

Red is the colour of Australia’s centre, and the colour that unites these desert artworks. Family, spirituality and Country are expressed by the artists through the vibrancy of red, the colour of the earth beneath their feet.

Exhibition on show 9th May – 27th July 2025

A travelling exhibition developed by the National Museum of Australia with the
support from the National Collecting Institutions Touring and Outreach Program.
