We are delighted to welcome the Barbier-Mueller Museum as a participant of the WanBel global project. 

The Barbier-Mueller Museum is home to an exceptional collection of Oceanic art, with rare works from Papua New Guinea that include aiamunu masks from the Purari River, malangan figures, telum figures from Bil Bil Island, and masks from Astrolabe Bay. These pieces reveal the spiritual depth and artistic innovation of the region’s cultures and stand as powerful examples of the museum’s dedication to presenting the aesthetic and cultural significance of each object.

Through decades of preservation, research, thematic exhibitions, and its dynamic publishing program, the museum has established itself as a leading institution in the study and international presentation of non-European art.
