222 reviewsAbout
Top Didj Art Gallery is 7 kilometres from Katherine and 22 kilometres from Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge). Top Didj showcases an extensive range of authentic Aboriginal artworks from over 250 artists from regions of the Top End, Arnhem Land, Kimberley, Central and Western Desert. This includes paintings, didgeridoos, artifacts, gift shop and a cafe.
Established in 1997 in Katherine, Northern Territory, their collection reflects the cultural diversity of Indigenous Australia.
Top Didj is strongly committed to nurturing and supporting both established artists and emerging talent while ethically promoting Aboriginal art. Their commitment to continuously evolve the business, working closely with Aboriginal artists and their families over the last 29 years, shines through in the quality of their artworks.
Their new bush tucker/medicine garden gives guests the opportunity to take a self-guided walk through nature whilst learning of the traditional uses of plants in food, medicine, arts and crafts. Artists in residence are also regularly in the gallery and available for visitors to meet, ask questions and see artworks in progress.
Top Didj also has a cafe and shaded BBQ/lunch area that guests may use.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My wife and I visited Top Didj Art Gallery in Katherine today and were absolutely blown away by the stunning Indigenous art on display. The gallery caters to all budgets and offers a wide range of pieces in different sizes, but what really stood out was the uniqueness and authenticity of the artwork. Each piece felt deeply meaningful and inspiring, leaving us with a lasting impression. The staff were outstanding—knowledgeable, passionate, and truly in tune with the artists’ visions. They helped us understand and appreciate the stories behind the artworks, which made the experience even more special. If you’re in Katherine, this gallery is an absolute must-visit. An unforgettable cultural experience that we’ll always remember!

If you’re passing through Katherine, this is an experience not to be missed. A beautiful family run gallery full of exquisite art. If you’re lucky and happen to be there at the right time, you will actually get to see local artists paint in the gallery. The owners have developed a really special relationship with the local artists and make sure they are commissioned fairly for their art. There is a range of art to purchase, from small A4 prints to giant canvas frames, every piece is unique and tells a story. Even if you are not looking to purchase, getting to view the art that is spread across the 2 levels of the gallery is an experience to behold in itself. Highly recommend (photos of artists were taken with permission)

Top Didj was an amazing place. Very helpful, polite staff and being able to interact with an incredible artist was both educational and spiritual. I would certainly recommend this experience to anyway passing through Katherine.

We had the most amazing experience at Top Didj, an absolute highlight of our entire trip. Manuel was an amazing storyteller, animated and engaging, and his stories had us enthralled. He was patient as we painted and made fire, and graciously kind, especially with the children, as we attempted to spear throw. His generosity in sharing his culture and his own childhood was incredible. We learned so much and enjoyed every minute of it (excellent for the kids!). The other staff were supportive and let Manuel lead the experience. I would absolutely recommend this experience to everyone, it exceeded my expectations and was the best time spent on our 3 month trip.

Visited Top Didj Art Gallery and found an amazing collection of Indigenous art that was most impressive. Allow at least an hour to view the extensive works that are on display as there is something there for everyone! Also had a great chat with the staff about some of the works that were of interest to me and they were most friendly and informative. If you are in Katherine, make the effort to visit the gallery - if just for the art's sake
