These extraordinary works trace the pioneering journeys of early Oceanians and reveal the rich diversity of their cultures. Through sculpture, ritual objects, and symbolic forms, the exhibition tells stories of the deep connections between humans and nature, community, and sacred belief.
From island shores to museum halls, an oceanic legend unfolds before you.
