Pitt Rivers Museum photos - General Tiki

Much of it is from Polynesia, picked up on Cook's voyages around the Pacific. The collection is particularly cool because so much is crammed into a relatively small space, giving it a Tiki bar vibe. In fact a couple of years back, I organised a trip for UK Tikiphiles to soak up the atmosphere there, then retire for cocktails at a local bar. Anyway, recently they allowed flash photography to be used for a trial period. This came out of the blue and I wasn't really prepared (my camera batteries were almost dead) but I managed to take a few snaps to share on Tiki Central. Many exhibits are behind glass, so apologies for any glare, etc. Trader Woody [ Edited by: Trader Woody on 2004-03-18 16:18 ]
