The Stars We Do Not See: Australian Indigenous Art will be the largest exhibition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art ever presented internationally. Featuring works from the National Gallery of Victoria’s world-leading collection, the exhibition offers a rare opportunity to experience the richness and innovation of Indigenous Australian art.

The Stars We Do Not See: Australian Indigenous Art is organized by the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne and the National Gallery of Art, Washington, in association with the Denver Art Museum, the Portland Art Museum, and the Peabody Essex Museum.
