This newly-developed world cultures exhibition will explore 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.
This exhibition will display a selection of these, including barkcloths, weapons, shells and jewellery. It was also share brand new research from a Fijian Art Research Project run by the University of East Anglia.
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.
