The Institute's collection of art from the broad geographical regions of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas has increased greatly since its first ancient American ceramics were acquired in the early 1920s.
Oceanic art represents the widely spread cultural groups of the Pacific Islands and Australia.
The museum has three important sculptures from New Ireland and a good selection of works from New Guinea.
