We came in off the freeway, looking for a brief diversion before our one evening in Charlottesville, and were blown away by the explosion of color, texture and emotion on display. What a wonderful surprise. Knowing nothing about Aboriginal art, we learned so much and look forward to learning more. Go now while the superb 50 Years of Papunya Tula Artists exhibit is on display. Admission is free, and the museum building and setting are stunning as well. A small but lovely gift shop tempts with reasonably-priced, unique items.
Wonderful museum, regrettably due to COVID you need a reservation to visit the artwork located inside the museum. However there is currently and outdoor sculpture trail which is fantastic.
An amazing collection. Ed let us dive in to his tour. The messages in the art are more meaningful for his explanation. Context is really essential in this form that is so much different than western painting. "Dots" are more meaningful then "points."Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
This is a wonderful museum and terrific introduction to an area of the world and artwork that is unfamiliar for most of us. Excellent tour and signage. Definitely worth a visit!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entryFree
An intimate, exceptional museum, the only one of its kind in the US devoted entirely to aboriginal art. Exhibits change frequently. Have visited many times and will visit many more times.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entryFree
Free to the public , this wonderful museum is probably less noticed than it should be as I just happened to approach the grounds while sight seeing and asked two ladies pleasantly enjoying there afternoon talking in the shade of the grounds about the museum. They advised it was free to public and I should go inside. Inside the door a docent immediately rose to attention and began filling me with detailed information regarding the museums history and offerings. He directed me to comfortably walk thru at my own pace and enjoy the surroundings. The museum was both educational as well as a delightful display of the aboriginal art. The sponsors own the largest collection of aboriginal art.
Sarah gave us the most interesting overview of the exhibits. Definitely worth an afternoon! So interesting!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entryFree
A wonderful collection in a beautiful home on a spectacular piece of land. I highly recommend the tour. Our tour guide, Ed was knowledgeable and very engaging. The museum is well worth the trip
Drove 3 hours to see this place. I went with my children. Although I did not witness it, the person who worked there accused my child of touching the artwork even though I did not see it. I did not like his tone. He made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcomed. If I know this place was not child friendly, I would not have come. Very disappointed.
I really like the aboriginal art and Kluge-Ruhe has an interesting collection . Visiting the museum was an agreable suprise, indeed!
