"We had to create a new place to deal with our history. We had to recreate a burial ground ... so that they [the remains of Aboriginal ancestors] don't spend another 100 years on a shelf." - @johncarty77 👏👏👏

Gorgeous story by @ToryShepherd about an incredible find. “They’d been in this time warp, this shipping container for 40 years. In a black hole. Then they’ve been spat back out by the universe.” - @johncarty77 theguardian.com/artanddesign…

700+ #SAjobs will be created as we build a new storage facility to house & protect some of #SouthAustralia's most treasured cultural works. It'll provide the space that’s needed in a temperature-controlled environment so our cultural history can be enjoyed by future generations.
