About the collection
The Australian Museum holds approximately 40,000 ethnographic objects and one million archaeological artefacts representing the cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. The collections come from areas throughout Australia, but research on, and acquisition of, material from New South Wales is a major focus.
These collections are of great contemporary cultural significance and play a major role in supporting Aboriginal Cultural Centres and Keeping Places throughout New South Wales.
These selected objects provide a glimpse into the depth of the collections.
