Yubu Napa Art Gallery
About This Museum
You might not expect to find one of the country's most significant Aboriginal art collections tucked away on a quiet residential street in Alice, but that's the charm of Yubu Napa. It feels less like a formal institution and more like stepping into a carefully curated treasure chest. The walls are alive with vibrant stories told through ochre and acrylic, each piece pulsing with the energy of its Country. You can feel the deep connection in every brushstroke and dot.
Collection Highlights
Look for the breathtakingly detailed Punu (wood carvings) from the Central Desert and the dynamic canvases from the Utopia region, where you can almost feel the desert heat. The gallery takes pride in pieces where you can trace the artist's hand and spirit.
Visitor Information
It's on Hartley Street, just a short stroll from the main drag. Pop in for a quiet chat about the art; the folks there are wonderfully knowledgeable and love sharing the stories behind each artist.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a converted mid-century house, it’s got that unassuming, welcoming Aussie verandah vibe. Don't let the humble exterior fool you—what's inside is pure gold.
