Ghunmarn Culture Centre

Top choice


The Ghunmarn Culture Centre, opened in 2007, displays local artworks, carvings, weavings and didgeridoos from western Arnhem Land. The centre also features the Blanasi Collection, a permanent exhibition of fabulous artworks by renowned artist David Blanasi and other elders from the western Arnhem Land region; the high-tech multimedia display for some paintings is excellent.
