Made from a single large tree trunk, the various planks and elements are assembled with rattan, coconut fibre and vegetable mastic, making the boat particularly robust and waterproof. This outrigger canoe, over 15 metres long, is the last remaining example of the technical mastery of large boat construction in the archipelago. In the room on the Pacific Ocean and navigation, a new Fijian canoe by Joji Marau Misaele and Rogosava Biuwale, a contemporary replica of a 1913 model, 2 takes place alongside the pirogue from Luf, an island in the Hermit group of islands in the Bismarck Archipelago of Papua New Guinea. Both are presented in such a way that the visitor can see both the exterior and the interior, with the possibility of entering the former. In the room devoted to houses, a Palau (Palau) meeting house and an Abelam (Papua New Guinea) ceremonial house with a particularly impressive façade take most of the room. 1 This is an opportunity to see the great masterpieces of the Pacific collections back on display: dugout canoes and houses have each their own room on two floors, which allows the objects to fully displayed. All the rooms of the Ethnological Museum are now open (or almost). November 2022: Visit to the Humboldt Forum.
