Exhibition Pacific Spirit at The Australian Museum Sydney West Papuan Artworks from the Todd Barlin Collection
The Superb Australian Museum in Sydney has an important early collection of New Guinea & Pacific Islands Art that is world-renowned.
The past Curators of their Pacific Islands collections including Dr Jim Specht wanted to build up their collection of Artworks from West Papua which had little material from that side of the Island of New Guinea, I let them select artworks from my collection for the Museum in 1997, 2000, and again in 2015.
Below are a few photos of the display of large Asmat & Mimika Artworks from West Papuan & of the opening of their new display area called “Pacific Spirit” opened on April 30 2015 by the honorable Julie Bishop Australia’s Minister for Foreign Affairs from 2013 until 2018.
