Highlighting one of the most significant collections of art of the Pacific assembled in the twentieth century, these extraordinary works represent a wide range of the Pacific regions with an emphasis on the areas of Polynesia and Melanesia. Key works include a superb eighteenth-century Hawaiian Drum collected by Captain James Cook in 1778, an Easter Islands Dance Paddle, and an Hermaphrodite Ancestor Figure. Approximately 48 works will be on display.
