St. Louis Art Museum (SLAM)
We are delighted to welcome the SLAM as a participant of the WanBel global project.
The Saint Louis Art Museum (SLAM), an encyclopedic institution dedicated to art and culture across time and place, houses a valuable collection of works from Papua New Guinea that reflect the region’s artistic depth and diversity. Among its rare masterpieces are the unique Korewori inyai-ewa bird figure and a superb uli figure from New Ireland, alongside important spirit boards, ceremonial masks, and other exceptional works.
In total, the museum’s holdings from Papua New Guinea number 122 objects, with 28 currently on display. Through its stewardship, interpretation, and presentation of these collections, SLAM demonstrates a longstanding commitment to preserving and sharing Papua New Guinea’s cultural heritage within a global context.
