The Art of Healing Gifts

The ‘Art of Healing’ gift range illustrates Indigenous healing methods of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

For 65,000 years, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have occupied the lands, with distinct cultural boundaries defined by intimate relationships with Country. Through contemporary art, communities share examples of healing practice and bush medicine from many distinct and varied Indigenous communities across Australia.

The range features selected works from the University of Melbourne Medical History Museum Collection.
