Groote Eylandt painted barks drawn from the Leonhard Adam Collection of International Indigenous Culture  Curator: Bala Starr 
The Leonhard Adam Collection includes objects from Australia, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, Asia, America and Africa. An important group of thirty-six painted barks from Groote Eylandt, collected in 1945 for an exhibition in Melbourne and given to The University in 1946, is one of the highlights of the Adam Collection.
