NAIDOC Week 2024

Celebrate NAIDOC Week at the Museum of Geraldton as we recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Explore the stunning artworks and moving commentary of Pila Nguru: Art and song from the Spinifex People, an exhibition offering a unique opportunity to contemplate the depth and cultural range of traditional connection to Country.

After discovering the exhibition, visitors of all ages will enjoy these free activities as we reflect on this year's theme 'Keep the fire burning! Blak, loud and proud.'

Activities
