Aboriginal culture in Sydney

Aboriginal arts in Sydney
In Sydney’s museums and galleries, you can trace the roots of a culture and an artistic tradition that stretches back for more than 40,000 years. Within the context of the contemporary art world, Australia’s Aboriginal art has emerged as one of the most original and exciting forms of creative expression.
Aboriginal art and tours in Sydney
In Sydney, you’ll find many opportunities to uncover the living culture of one of the world’s oldest societies.
On a Tribal Warrior cruise, you’ll enjoy the best of a Sydney Harbour cruise while gaining insights into Aboriginal culture and history. The Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney has a unique Aboriginal heritage tour conducted by an Aboriginal guide who explains how native plants are used for bush foods and medicine.
At the Australian Museum you’ll see rare cultural artefacts that include boomerangs, didgeridoos, baskets and ceremonial pieces. Check out when Bangarra Dance Theatre is performing – it’s Australia’s only indigenous dance company. And find out everything you’ve ever wanted to know about the best Aboriginal artists at Yiribana at the Art Gallery of NSW.
