Flinders University Museum of Art (FUMA) acknowledges the Kaurna people as the traditional custodians of the land on which we work and recognises the ongoing cultural and spiritual significance of this land to the living Kaurna today. FUMA boasts a rich history spanning five decades and collections comprising some 8,000 works. FUAM is committed to preserving and developing the Universityโs histori
cal and contemporary collections through collection management, research, teaching, publications, exhibitions and public programs. Believing in the power of art to excite and inspire, FUMA aims to stimulate, enrich and engage the communities it serves. FUMAโs holdings include a nationally significant collection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art, with representations from Arnhem Land, the Kimberley, Tiwi Islands, Cape York, Tasmania, Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands as well as from urban and regional centres. An extensive collection of European prints, spanning the 15th to 20th centuries, illustrates a continuous history of European art from the Renaissance through to Modernism. In addition FUAM has a unique and comprehensive collection of Post-object and Documentation art, documenting conceptual art making in the 1960s and 1970s. Smaller collections of Australian art, including works on paper from the colonial period to the present day; Japanese woodblock prints and works by indigenous people of Papua New Guinea, North America and Africa are also represented.
