Old Masters: Australia’s Great Bark Artists has launched at the National Museum of Australia in Canberra today. It showcases bark paintings from leading Aboriginal artists right across Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory. They tell us an important part of history about Aboriginal art in Australia as well as being of great cultural significance to the artist’s families.
