FIJI: ART & LIFE IN THE PACIFIC
LACMA • March 7 • 11 am • Resnick Pavillion
Join us for the first substantial project on the art of Fiji to be mounted in the US, an
exhibition funded partly by EAC. Fiji will feature over 280 artworks drawn from major
international collections, including the Fiji Museum, British Museum, Museum of
Archaeology and Anthropology (Cambridge), the Smithsonian, and distinguished
private collections. Curator Dr. Nancy Thomas will walk us through this distinguished
and rarely seen exhibition which includes figurative sculpture, ritual kava bowls,
breastplates of pearl shell and whale ivory, large-scale bark cloths, small portable
temples, weapons, and European watercolors and paintings.
