Absalom's Gallery

On your next visit to Broken Hill this gallery is a must. It was completed in 1997 and is designed to give visitors a total image of the Australian outback as seen through the eyes of Jack Absalom. It features eleven 8" x 3" paintings of Jack's work in a permanent display depicting areas of Australia which have impressed Jack.

One of these paintings he painted over 30 years ago. Jack's oil paintings are for sale as well as an extensive range of limited edition prints of his favourite outback scenes.

Other items for sale include Jack's books, small prints, postcards and dvds of some of Jack's television documentaries. This beautifully designed gallery boasts a magnificent opal display case specially made for the gallery from polished West Australian jarrah. It features a huge range of opal specimens as well as opal jewellery. The gallery's exterior design is in keeping with the early years of Broken Hill with bull-nose verandah, lacework and balustrade.
