A collection of nationally significant paintings from the Hermannsburg School, including watercolours by famed artist Albert Namatjira, are being stored in a converted tool shop exposed to dust, light and bugs.
The mission at Hermannsburg, also known as Ntaria, in the Northern Territory was once the home of Namatjira, who in the 1930s became the first Aboriginal artist to paint the land in western-style watercolours.
