EXHIBITION: Ancient Australia
To say the Aboriginal peoples have had a rough and diffcult history is a severe understatement.
Yet, their numerous cultures, languages and identities have persevered – which is the message of a major new exhibition at the British Museum. On display will be never-before-seen objects of Aboriginal art and tools from the museum’s collection, many of which were collected in the early days of Britain’s colonisation of Australia. Among these are bark paintings (such as the barramundi fish, top right) and a shield collected from Botany Bay during Captain Cook’s visit in 1770.
The exhibition is thought to be the largest collection of Aboriginal culture ever held outside Australia
