This was the first major exhibition of contemporary Australian Aboriginal in a public art museum in the Netherlands. It was a key initiative of the new Groninger Museum.
The exhibition continued the Museum's exploration of contemporary non-western art. Paintings from the Western and Central Deserts were profiled. All of the works were acquired by the Museum for its own collection. The paintings were displayed in conjunction with those from the Donald Kahn Collection. The exhibition achieved significant national acclaim and was enthusiastically received. Many contemporary indigenous craft objects from the same region were also specially commissioned for sale in the Museum Shop. staff from cultural connotations was engaged to
