Norval Gallery

Derby's Norval Gallery is run by a Kimberley artist husband and wife team Mark and Mary Norval. The gallery showcases their own insightful work as well as the artwork of many indigenous artists from the amazing Kimberley region of Western Australia. All of the artists are happy to talk about their unique artwork and are willing to share their painting techniques and ideas whilst being watched at work by visitors to the gallery. Other must see highlights of the gallery include, Australia's best historical carved Boab Nut display, an extensive collection of rare and beautiful sea shells and locally designed Boab tree inspired jewellery. For the music buffs there is a collection of 5000 of the best LPs ever recorded. The Lonely Planet Australian travel guide for 2012 rated Norval Gallery as one of its top 60 "top choice must see" destinations Australia wide. The gallery is closed during the months of November December and January

What an amazing gallery and what wonderful people involved. Could not believe how accomodating and friendly everyone was, the most amazing art ever and Mark himself very happy to chat and discuss his history and activities within the local community. He is so obliging to the local indigenous community and they are just a wonderful family all around.. (Adds to the wonder that he supports Geelong in the AFL as well-Go cats)

Reviewed By vonniek1953 - Derby, United Kingdom

We visited the Derby visitor centre twice during our time in Derby and both times the staff could not have been more helpful. Very proud of their town and the beautiful surrounding area, and very knowledgable. They have some lovely gifts and a good selection of books. Well worth a visit if you are in the area
