How amazing! Far away from the exotic dreams of tiny islands with perfect white sand and transparent blue waters we are deep into the reality of the sacred and divine Polynesian Arts while visiting this exhibition. That said, it is cleverly divided into sections that clearly put things into perspective: The Sea, the Earth, the Marae, the Divine and the Chieftaincy. All the elements that form the basis of the Polynesian society. You should really take this opportunity to witness those artefacts now as you will probably no longer have the opportunity to see them together ever again. And there is no risk as they have all been de-sacralised during a ‘Tapu’ ceremony prior being publicly displayed.
