Maori, an exhibition first organized by Museum Volkenkunde Leiden, is now on view at the Linden Museum in Stuttgart. Through an assemblage of 140 antique and contempoary works, the exhibition explores the Maori concepts of
mana and
tapu, and invites visitors to sound the depth of Maori culture, both in the past and the 21st century.
