The objects in this exhibition were created and used by the indigenous peoples of present-day Papua New Guinea and West Papua, Indonesia.

The exhibition features weapons including carved shields, war-clubs, spears and bows and arrows, plus carved daggers made from the bones of cassowary birds – a large flightless bird native to New Guinea. Includes maps, graphics, and audio and video elements that will allow visitors a glimpse into the fascinating world of New Guinea. Runs through May 15.
