Specially designed for touring, the Arts of Oceania exhibition invites visitors from around the world to discover masterpieces from the Musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac's Oceania collection. Using a geographical approach, the exhibition brings together a collection of 200 pieces.
A sea of islands nestled in the vast Pacific Ocean, Oceania remains the most elusive of continents. Some of them are vast territories, others form archipelagos or fragile atolls. While artistic expressions in Oceania display an immense variety of forms and materials, they above all reveal the bonds that unite people to their environment, their way of life, and their beliefs.
The exhibition is divided into two main sections. One focuses on the arts of Melanesia, moving from Papua New Guinea to the Solomon Islands, the Vanuatu archipelago, and then New Caledonia. The other focuses on the arts of Polynesia and Micronesia, exploring themes common to these islands.
