Mbantua Aboriginal Art Gallery and Cultural Museum is a privately owned company located at 71 Gregory Terrace in Alice Springs, NT, Australia.  In May 2007 we officially opened our second Gallery, the Mbantua Fine Art Gallery, which is located in the Holiday Inn Esplanade, 93 Mitchell St, Darwin. We have an established finance department, field and research department, framing department, photographic unit, artist workshop and our very own Cultural Museum which opened in 2005. All of these elements enable us to learn from and document our findings on the Aboriginal people of Utopia.  It’s with their support that we are able to educate and share their unique culture, dreamtime, art and beliefs with the greater world.
