I just saw this listed on the San Diego Museum of Art website. It's under the "Future Exhibitions" section.

Oceanic Art
January 31, 2009–January 3, 2010
Organized by SDMA, this exhibition features approximately 70 artworks that represent ancient Oceanic traditions from Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia. The works on view come from public and private collections and include a variety of three-dimensional objects full of cultural and social meaning that still function within Oceanic cultures today. Included are elaborate, hand-carved sculptures representing ancestors and gods, jewelry, weapons, cooking tools, and more.
