Mimi Aboriginal Art & Craft

Top choice in Outback Northern Territory


Aboriginal owned and not-for-profit, Mimi is arguably Katherine's best Indigenous art centre. It's a small but carefully chosen collection of works from the Katherine region, the Tanami Desert and all the way up to the Kimberley. They also sell postcards and a small selection of books, music and didgeridoos.
