To celebrate History Week, Murchison Heritage Centre will be open each day from Sunday 15th October to Sunday 22nd October from 11 am to 2 pm. Our temporary display area will be featuring the art produced by Hans-Wolter von Gruenewaldt, a German Prisoner of War who was held in Camp 13 for 5½ years.
Hans-Wolter's murals can be seen in DPJones Nursing Home and also the Community Centre in Murchison. His artistic talent was extensive and the murals are just one style of his work. A new book will be released during History Week that reveals many of his works produced during his captivity that are quite different to the style of the murals and showcases his broad range of skills.
