This is a focus post about the aboriginal art galleries at the SA Museum. If that doesn't sound interesting, I would skip it. 👋

The South Australian Museum is responsible for the largest and most comprehensive collection of Australian Aboriginal cultural material in the world, and works with Aboriginal people to bring the collection's stories to life.

The entry included these photos of beautiful aboriginal faces. 😊

So many spears ...

.... and clubs.

Lots of boomerangs for hunting. 🪃

Water carrying and drinking vessels. 💦

Fires were made by friction (using a fire drill or fire stick) or striking a light (using flint or stones). 🔥

Helpful display showing how these were worn. 👍

Beautiful shields made of softwood. 🛡️

Baskets from many regions. 🧺

Modern aboriginal art. 🖼️

So many boomerangs! 🪃

Although the lighting was a challenge (to preserve the artifacts), we enjoyed our visit and learned so much. We look forward to another visit next time! 👋
