This Reconciliation Week, join us at the National Museum for a celebration of Culture and Country.
Inspired by the cultural arts exhibition, 'From Little Things, Big Things GROW: From Nambour to Canberra', the program honours the vibrant First Nations community project led by Gunggari and Kamilaroi Elder Aunty Jude Hammond.
Explore the pop-up exhibition, enjoy live performances and take part in a coolamon-making workshop with Aunty Jude.
Pop-up exhibition:
