"We went to Butjumurru and took photos. The beach was clear and the water was very calm. I stood on a rock and Burrthi took a photo of me. I am pointng at the sea. Back in the studio I took the image and drew a design for water along with the clouds. The colours I chose reflect the colours of the water. There is two of me on the rock - one pointing right and one pointing left. We are not pointng at each other but past."

In the 1960’s, Narritjin Maymuru set up his own beachfront gallery from which he sold art that now graces many major museums and private collections. He is counted among the art centre’s main inspirations and founders, and his picture hangs in the museum. His vision of Yolŋu-owned business to sell Yolŋu art that started with a shelter on a beach has now grown into a thriving business that exhibits and sells globally.
Today Buku-Larrŋgay Mulka Centre consists of two divisions; the Yirrkala Art Centre which represents Yolŋu artists exhibiting and selling contemporary art and The Mulka Project which acts as a digital production studio and archiving centre incorporating the museum.
