註釋 "The exhibition places the scientific legacy of German explorer, naturalist, and ethnographer Otto Finsch into the ideological context of 19th century anthropological scholarship as well as of German colonial interests in the Pacific. From his two South Sea Expeditions (1879-1882 and 1884-1885) focusing on the Marshall-, Gilbert-, and Caroline-Islands, the Bismarck-Archipelago, and the eastern part of mainland New Guinea, Otto Finsch took back excellent records of his scientific work and a rich collection of ethnographic artifacts to Europe. Twenty-six handwritten diaries, field notes, object catalogues, native language word lists, sketches, drawings, and (anthropometric) photographs are stored in the archives of Museums für Völkerkunde Wien. About 2000 ethnographical objects from Micronesia, Melanesia, Polynesia, and Australia, such as implements, weapons, shell money, and adornment and ritual objects reflect masterful craftsmanship and outstandingly skilled artistry." --P. 61.
