Araluen Cultural Precinct, Art museum and cultural center in Alice Springs, Australia
Description

History
The center developed from an earlier arts facility into an institution that preserves the heritage of Central Australia. This transformation allowed multiple collections and events to be brought together in one location.
Culture
The galleries display works by artists from the region who depict the landscape and life of Central Australia. Visitors can experience directly how local artists express their connections to the land and people around them.

The grounds are spread out, so visitors should wear comfortable shoes and allow time for walking between buildings. Different exhibitions and activities happen on various days, so it helps to plan ahead about what you want to see.
