Abstract

Based on fieldwork in Tahiti, Jasmin Günther (Guenther) traced the Polynesian artefacts recovered from the wreck of HMS Pandora through time, space and cultural context. She provided the first in-depth anthropological study of these artefacts and highlighted the significance of museum objects for making relations through creative practice and new stories.
