This is a wonderful rich expression of a collector. I know nothing about the collector but he has brought together a celebration of Pacific paraphernalia, reflecting a broader cultural absorption in the myths and heritage of this Ocean islander world.
The walls have thirty or so densely written and illustrated information panels. The long narrow gallery space has lots of glass cases full of wonderful cultural arifacts. There were lots of cups and caps and other memorablia. There are lots of books, records, comics, games and every conceivable salable object with Pacific Easter Island theme. The quality and range of the collection was thorough and fascinating.
