Every new tab is opening night.
First Nations Art Exhibition replaces Chrome’s new tab with a free online Aboriginal art exhibition — First Nations artwork and artist stories, hung fresh in the place you visit a hundred times a day.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised this exhibition may include names or works of people who have died.

A working new tab, inside a living exhibition
It’s not wallpaper. It’s a gallery that still does everything you opened the tab to do.
Artwork on every tab
A First Nations work fills the wall each time you open a new tab — daily rotation or shuffle, your call.
Artist stories
Who made it, where it belongs. The story travels with the work, never separated from it.
Search where you left it
The search bar sits front and centre. Look things up without leaving the gallery.
Reflection notes
A quiet notepad on the tab itself — thoughts, lists, reminders. Saved as you type.
Shortcuts dock
Your most-used sites, pinned as tiles beneath the artwork. Drag them into your own order.
Light & dark modes
Display modes tuned for morning offices and midnight sessions alike.
The gallery changes with the hour
Same wall, different light. Switch display modes to suit the room you’re actually sitting in.
Light mode
Bright chrome for a bright office. The artwork carries the colour; everything else gets out of the way.
Search, notes, shortcuts
The tab pulls its weight all day — one glance at the art, then straight back to what you were doing.
Dark mode
Dimmed chrome for late sessions, so opening a tab at midnight doesn’t blind you.
Opening night, in three moves
Add to Chrome
One click on the official Chrome Web Store listing. Free, desktop Chrome, no account.
Open a new tab
The door you already walk through all day is now the gallery entrance.
Meet the work
Read the label, take a note, search, move on. Tomorrow the wall changes again.
Nothing hangs without its name
Before a work is exhibited, its label must carry all eight of these. That’s the standard we hold the collection to.
Spot a wrong or missing credit? Request a correction or removal — labels get fixed, not defended.
Where a label is blank, we say so
We’d rather show an honest gap than a confident guess. Every work in the exhibition sits in one of three states — and the third one is where you can help.
If you recognise a work, know the artist, or hold the rights, one email fixes the record for every person who opens a tab. And if a work shouldn’t be shown at all, tell us — it comes down, no argument.
Your work, on 200+ walls
Submissions are open. Send the work and the details below — nothing is exhibited without credit wording you’ve approved.
- Your name and contact details
- Your Nation / community
- Artwork title, year and medium
- A high-quality image of the work
- Who owns the copyright
- The credit wording you want shown
- Any cultural restrictions we must respect
- A short description, approved by you
Every submission is reviewed against the house rules above. Your credit line is written with you, not about you.

Schools & classrooms
Every student’s new tab becomes a First Nations artwork with its artist and Nation named — a quiet, daily kind of teaching.
Workplaces & RAP teams
A small, visible way to keep a Reconciliation commitment in front of staff every day, instead of a poster nobody reads.
Community organisations
Free for any organisation to install and share. If you’d like a hand introducing it, just ask.
