Welcome

Welcome to the AAMU, the only museum in Europe that is entirely dedicated to contemporary Aboriginal art from Australia.

Now at the AAMU: exhibition BOMB by Blak Douglas and Adam Geczy

The exhibition BOMB is a striking, fascinating, at time humorous spectacle. It is an intense confrontation with nationalism, racism and discrimination. Artists Blak Douglas (aka Adam Hill) and Adam Geczy staged this exhibition for the AAMU in connection with the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the Treaty of Utrecht. Most of the artworks were made by the artists on location. BOMB will show a different side to the legendary European negotiations relating to the Treaty. Click here to read more.
