Description:
The BMA's Oceanic artifacts are part of the museum's permanent collection. The carvings are housed amongst the African, Native American and Pre-Columbian art. The corridor is directly to the right of the ticket office and is literally footsteps from the front door. Kids seem to love the "scary masks" in this wing of the museum and tend to linger so plan accordingly when visiting with children. The city of Baltimore hasn't had a Polynesian bar or restaurant since the mid-60's, but the few pieces in the BMA's care confirm that yes, there is tiki in Baltimore.
