Peabody Essex Museum, United States of America. The Peabody Essex Museum has a gallery that shows the unique richness of Oceania art and emphasizes esthetic strengths of individual objects. Since it was founded, in 1799, the museum has collected art and cultural objects of the Pacific Islands. The dimension of the heap, its origin and the quality of individual pieces make this collection one of the most important of the world. More than 15,000 pieces from more than 36 islands of the Pacific, integrate the Oceania Collection of Peabody Essex Museum. This museum promotes cultural understanding and celebrates artistry and culture of Oceania in and outside the museum.
