Silver City Mint & Art Centre (The Big Picture)
Silver City Mint & Art Centre
Home to The Big Picture, a circular painting about 100 metres long, which takes in the desert landscape around Broken Hill at a glance.
The highlight is The Big Picture, painted by the artist Peter Anderson over two years. It is a circular acrylic painting about 100 metres long and 12 metres high, said to be one of the largest of its kind in the world. Combined with real objects in the foreground, standing at the center feels like being in the desert around Broken Hill, Silverton and the Mundi Mundi Plains. The center also has a chocolate workshop and shops selling art and jewelry. Admission is charged for the painting. Allow about 40 minutes.
