About the exhibition
Red Heart of Australia is an exhibition of eight paintings united by the colour red. Created by Aboriginal artists from across Central Australia, these precious works from the National Museum of Australia’s collection show how the colour red expresses relationships to Country, family, ritual and spirituality.
This exhibition was on show at the National Art Museum of China, Beijing, China, from 31 July to 2 December 2021 and attracted an average of 30,000 visitors per month.
