Exploring Aboriginal Arts

One thing you should not forget why you're in Sydney is the Aboriginal heritage of the land. Europe has made a great effort to change the face of the harbour and build what it is today but there are over 40000 years of aboriginal culture upon which the city was built. There are many ways you can learn about the influence of aboriginals or simply just to view the city from their perspective, including numerous tours in the Australian Museum.  The Art Gallery of Museum is also a standout attraction of the city which offers a deeper insight into the aboriginal heritage including the spiritual connection and rituals  they embrace which is in conjunction with the land they call home and is only a short walk away from the Australian Museum. If you're an art lover and want to indulge in more of what Sydney’s culture has to offer, head to the iconic Sydney museum!
