Events and activities
Find out how quilting first introduced by Christian missionaries was reworked into a unique art form by Hawaiian quilters, see a specially commissioned Nigerian masquerade mask and view the first UK exhibition of Shane Balkowitsch's Native American portraiture. All free and unticketed - just drop in!
The UNMASKED Spirit in the City exhibition features an Agaba mask carved by Tonye Agala, on display for the first time at the museum. This short film shows the making of the mask, accompanied by mask libation songs sung by Elder Tamuno Amboy Amabeoku and Lucia Lucky George.
The Pitt Rivers Museum wants to become a welcoming space to all where stories are shared by many voices.
Working collaboratively and creatively with staff, volunteers, and communities we will transform how our iconic collections are engaged with, both online and in the museum. In an increasingly disconnected world, we want to inspire empathy and deepen cross-cultural understanding.
