National Museum of Australia - Outlawed!

Confrontation with authority is the essential ingredient of outlaw legend, but even though they were pursued by governments, some outlaws were recognised immediately by their supporters as freedom fighters and revolutionaries, and are celebrated now as such by a wider audience, From the archetypal robber-hero Robin Hood, who may never have actually existed, to Australia’s own Ned Kelly and Indias 20th-century ‘bandit queen’ Phoolan Devi, Outlawed! examines the lives, the deeds and the imaginative myth making associated with the worlds rebels and lawbreakers.
