Pro Hart Gallery
The former home of Australia's beloved outback painter Pro Hart, featuring a three-story gallery and the Rolls-Royce he covered in hand-painted art as its highlights.
Kevin 'Pro' Hart (1928-2006) began his working life as a miner in Broken Hill. After teaching himself to paint, he made his name with bright, lively works depicting outback life, miners and insects, and became the leading figure of the 'Broken Hill School' of painters. The gallery sits beside the house he lived in. Its three floors display his oil paintings, sculptures and personal collection from different periods. The most famous exhibit is the Rolls-Royce car he covered in paintings, along with his trademark carpet-painted advertising story. Across the road is the Pro Hart Sculpture Park. Admission is charged, and an hour is enough to see it properly.
