While there has been discussion about it in ikitnrev’s “LA Museum of Art acquires Oceanic Arts collection”

http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=29035&forum=1

...now that some of the pieces have been put on display in a gallery installation, it deserves to have its own thread in “locating.”

Some of the examples of what's in the collection (from LACMA's website)...

And, as mentioned in the other thread, for a beautifully graphic and in-depth look at the collection, Allen Wardwell’s Island Ancestors: Oceanic Art from the Masco Collection is a must-have for your library...

As an added bonus, on March 6 at 2 pm, the museum will be hosting a lecture “Exploring LACMA’s New Treasures.”
