Tens of thousands of Aboriginal objects exist in museum collections overseas.

Palawa woman Professor Gaye Sculthorpe located a wrongly labelled Tasmanian Aboriginal water carrier in a Paris museum while researching her family's history. 

Her research,  whilst working on Tasmanian Aboriginal collections in the United Kingdom and France, also looks at other misidentified or improperly labelled object, and is the subject of  the 2023 Eldershaw Memorial Lecture
