ARTS AND CULTURE
We hold deep respect for the rich culture and heritage of the Wulgurukaba people, the original inhabitants of this land, who affectionately referred to the island as Yunbenun (Magnetic Island). To explore Magnetic Island's profound heritage, pay a visit to the Magnetic Museum or embark on an island tour where a knowledgeable local can share some of the island's compelling stories. Additionally, Magnetic Island is home to a vibrant community of artists inspired by the island's natural beauty and historical significance. You'll find intimate local galleries where you can admire and purchase local art, often just a few steps from the beach. Whether you wish to participate in an art class or take home a piece of Maggie's artistic essence, there are plenty of opportunities to connect with the island's heritage and artistic spirit.
