Relaxed sessions are offered outside of hours for visitors who would benefit from a quieter Gallery experience with fewer people and reduced sensory stimuli. This may include people with autism, disability, dementia, mental health or chronic illness conditions. All ages are welcome.
The Gecko and the Mermaid
Geckos, turtles, lizards and mermaids! This summer’s exhibition introduces two significant contemporary Yolŋu artists from North-East Arnhem Land to our youngest of visitors. Award-winning artist Ms N. Yunupiŋu and her sister Eunice Djerrkŋu Yunupiŋu share their stories, culture and language through displays of art and hands-on activities developed especially for the exhibition.
This children’s exhibition is colourful, brightly lit and immersive and features multimedia interactives that include moving image and sound. Some of these sound elements will be turned down especially for these sessions.
