The National Museum of Australia’s Derek Thompson Acquisition

The National Museum of Australia has recently acquired Ernabella’s Derek Thompson pot ‘Kungkarangkalpa Attila’ for inclusion in the Museum’s Songlines collection and also adds to the Ernabella Arts collection that tells aspects of the stories of the community’s art and cultural practice.

Kungkarangkalpa Attila is on display in the new acquisition case outside the Circa theatre at the National Museum until early 2015. It is likely to reappear in an exhibition about the Seven Sisters songline in 2017.
