The Royal Society of Tasmania and the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery have formally apologised to Tasmania s Aboriginal community over the mistreatment and theft of cultural artefacts.
Monday s apology was part of the return of 14,000-year-old petroglyphs to their original site at Preminghana, in the state s north-west.
The petroglyph slabs were taken from Preminghana in the 1960s, and given to TMAG in Hobart and the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Galley in Launceston.
The pieces that were taken to Hobart were displayed at the TMAG from 1967 until 2005. They have since been kept in storage.
The petroglyphs were removed in 1962 from Preminghana, and will be returned to the site in early March 2021.
