The Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery has agreed to return sacred Aboriginal rock carvings taken from the state's north-west in the 1960s.
Sacred Tasmanian Aboriginal rock carvings taken by the state's museum more than 50 years ago will be returned.
They were eventually taken off display and were stored in the basement of a warehouse on Hobart's eastern shore. "We don't want it in a white institution, it's got to go back to its place of origin," Aboriginal elder Michael Mansell said.
