About
In Murumburr Country, you'll find Warradjan Aboriginal Cultural Centre Warradjan encapsulates the history of Aboriginal culture in Kakadu, with an interactive museum, art exhibit and meeting place to sit on country and weave with Bininj artists and Murumburr Traditional Owners. Warradjan's exhibit is curated by and central to the local Bininj/Mungguy (Aboriginal) community, and it tells the stories of of their land, people and Dreamtime. Warradjan is the Kundjeyhmi word for Pig-Nosed Turtle, an inhabitant of the nearby Ngurrungurrudjba (Yellow Water Billabong) and native species found within Kakadu National Park. This is significant not only for its name, but also for the salient shape of the building, which reflects circular gatherings and way of communication for Bininj/Mungguy people.

This is a very well designed and informative place if you want to enjoy and understand the aboriginal culture of this area. There are toilets available and a small gift shop. The centre is air conditioned so if the top end heat and humidity is getting to you, this is a nice rest spot.

We hadn’t planned on visiting but were early for our Cooinda Lodge checkin so when we saw the sign decided to check it out. This was really well done. Great source of information and well put together. Even my daughter who doesn’t usually like museums found this centre interesting and definitely worth a visit.

There is so much to see in this cultural center. You can see lots and lots of Aboriginal arts and culture here. You can only skip visiting this place if you are not really interested to know about the history, culture and arts of Indigenous people of Kakadu region. The place is pretty well-maintained and not too far from Cooinda lodge. The entrace was free for us and there were also many cultural items to purchase. But I was bit upset that photography was not allowed inside the cultural center.

The museum holds a lot of evidence about the history and traditional way of living of aboriginals in Australia. It is very well displayed and narated. The sad encounter with the white man and the impact on "converted" children is presented in a delicate and respectfull fashion. I highly reccomend the visit.

We visit the Cultural Centre in connection with a round trip in Kakadu National Park. Unfortunately, we did only have 30 minutes, and this is simply not enough if you need the rest rooms and to see the interesting exhibition. So, take your time as there is a lot to see and read.

We tried on 2 days to visit after being told this centre was open. We sat at the gates until after 10am with several other cars lined up.
Checked at cooinda lodge nearby and the other centre and no one knew why it was closed.
As it’s wet season there isn’t a lot of walks open so we would expect this would have been open especially during peak April school holidays.

We were staying right near the Cultural Centre so easy just to pop in have a look.Lots to look aat and read about so take your time and check out everything.You are NOT ALLOWED to take photos but the Grey Nomads obviously cant read as they snapped away.Right near the Yellow River Cruise area.Worth a drop in and I got myself a fridge magnet from the store at the end.

Completely unexpected experience. The displays were informative and gave us a glimpse, but better understanding, of the tribal life pre and post white settlement. A lovely gift shop with plenty of art and souvenir to bring home for keep sake.

Great centre with good display and interactive pieces, there are occasionally artists from the Aboriginal community in the centre. Best gift shop in Kakadu also!
