If you are into seeing the type of artifacts you only usually see in books do not miss this exhibition, and if you can't make it the catalogue is still a feast for the eyes. There is also a room dedicated to Gaugin with some of his "Tiki" Sculptures and to top it off a bar area created by ourselves. The exhibition continues through until November and is at Daoulas Abbey near Brest in Brittany http://www.cdp29.fr/daoulas-lesactualitesexpositionrencontresenpolynesie.html [ Edited by: cheekytiki 2011-04-27 00:47 ]
