This remarkable exhibition presents several hundred objects collected during the second and third Pacific Ocean voyages of Captain James Cook (1728-79). The show is organized by the Academy in cooperation with the Institute of Cultural and Social Anthropology at the Georg August University of Göttingen in Lower Saxony, Germany. The collection is famous among anthropologists but little-known to the general public. The occasion of the Honolulu exhibition, which will present some 500 objects from Aotearoa (New Zealand), Tonga, Tahiti and the Society Islands, the Marquesas, New Hebrides, New Caledonia, Hawai'i, and the Northwest Coast of America, will be the first time that the entire Göttingen collection will be shown in a public museum. Of the works in the exhibition, the largest numbers come from the Tongan, Tahitian, and Maori cultures, while thirty-five of the works come from Hawai'i.
