Fiji: Ocean Connections (Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery)

10/10/2015 - 16/1/2016

 

Opened on Fiji Day 2015, this newly-developed world cultures exhibition explores the surprising connections between Plymouth and Polynesia. Over a hundred artefacts from the Pacific island of Fiji have travelled to the Museum since the late 1800s. On display are a selection of these, including barkcloths, weapons, shells and jewellery.

As well as highlighting aspects of island life, ‘Fiji: Ocean Connections’ will show the complexity and beauty of Western Polynesian art and culture, investigating how oceans connect Plymouth with the Pacific.

For more information on the exhibition and to learn about associated programmes and events, please visit the museum's website.
