Cultural & Arts at the National Cultural Center
If you have the time, visit the National Cultural Center at Gordon’s Industrial Center in Port Moresby.
Face mask carving
They have a vast amount of artifacts, clay pots, carvings, masks and woven bags on display and on sale.
Most of the stuff is predominantly Sepik (carvings, baskets), Milne Bay (carvings), Eastern Highlands (paintings), Enga (paintings) and Madang (clay pots), but it does give you a good picture of the cultural beliefs of Melanesians.
Anyway, this is just a short post so enjoy the photos and share any insights.
