Oceanic Art Overdose

I was fortunate enough to view a small portion of the Musée du Quai Branly's huge collection of masks, tikis, moais, and other Objets d'Oceanic Art, like the very creepy skull reliquary pictured above, when I visited the Louvre 3 years ago. The Musée's catalogue is indexed and viewable on their website, checking in at a staggering 300,000 objects.

Their search engine is in French only, so if vous ne parlez pas français, you may have to experiment a bit to figure out how to use it, but believe me, it's worth it. I suggest entering "Oceania" in the search box, then clicking on Lancer la recherche to get started.
