Happenings

The MEG is showing its collection of 25 New Caledonian engraved bamboo objects, one of the great passions of Marguerite Lobsiger-Dellenbach, director of the MEG between 1952 and 1967. These bamboo pieces, or kârè e tâ, stand among the most original works of Kanak art. Entirely covered with abstract and figurative designs, they act as cultural records, illustrating multiple aspects of Kanak life and history, while also functioning as protective talismans.
