Summary: No ordinary place celebrates the work of one of the most renowned bark painters of Arnhem Land, David Malangi Daymirriju David Malangi (1927-1999) of the Manharrngu people was a leading figure in the development of the central Arnhem Land bark painting movement and holds a prominent place in Australian Aboriginal art. Made famous by his design used on the Australian one dollar note introduced in 1966, Malangi painted over a period of four decades.
