RE: Oceania at the Royal Academy
Some really cool stuff there. We saw some stuff like this in Australia and New Zealand. I think these cultures have been under-appreciated.

I was expecting items from the Northern areas of Australia, but didn't see any. I'm fairly familiar with that part of the map, and the indigenous cultures (I collect Australian Aboriginal art when I can afford it). What really came through in the exhibition, but only shows here in that last image, is how European culture impacted the region and was assimilated.
