Description:
This place has been a childhood inspiration in my later quest for Tiki, no doubt. It is just around the corner of where my old elementary school was, and apart from school outings to it's hallowed halls, my father also was an avid museum goer with me and my brother. The building was erected in 1912 to house the various Oceanic artifact collections that had been assembled by Hamburg shipping and trader families like the Godeffroys http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum_Godeffroy -(sorry, in German only) who early on employed collectors in the field.
