Tandanya Aboriginal Cultural Centre, Aboriginal arts museum in Adelaide, Australia
The Tandanya National Aboriginal Cultural Institute occupies a former power station building on Grenfell Street in Adelaide, presenting Indigenous art exhibitions and performances.
Established in 1989, Tandanya operates in a heritage-listed building from 1901 that underwent substantial modifications in 1912 to become Australia's first Aboriginal-managed cultural center.
The institute presents exhibitions of contemporary and traditional Aboriginal art, along with music performances, storytelling sessions, and educational programs about Indigenous traditions.
The center remains closed for infrastructure improvements and fire safety upgrades until January 2025, with funding support from the South Australian government.
The name Tandanya derives from Kaurna language meaning 'place of the red kangaroo', reflecting the center's location on traditional Kaurna land.
