Arts of Africa, The Pacific, and the Native Americas

The Museum has recently expanded its holdings in the art of African, Pacific, and Native American cultures through the transfer of more than 900 pieces from the Sana Art Foundation. Ranging from a 19th century Hawaiian ivory pendant necklace, to Native American woven basketry, from rare Polynesian barkcloths or tapa, to a diverse collection of African art, the Sana Collection furthers the Museum’s mission to present its audiences with art from across the centuries and around the globe. As the Sana Collection is catalogued and accessioned, the Museum’s display of the Arts of Africa, the Pacific, and the Native Americas will continue to expand.
