Description: | See also the Japanese Collections under Decorative Arts
The Museum's holdings of ethnography (c.4,000 specimens) are dominated by the nationally-important Brenchley Collection, covering the Pacific area, but with particular emphasis upon the cultures of Melanesia, the Pacific NW of Canada and the U.S.A., and the Alaskan Eskimo. There are also much smaller ethnographic collections, in poor condition, from Brazil, Malaya and Africa. The Museum also possesses a collection of weapons from the SE Asia area. | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | Address: | St Faith's Street
