Papua New Guinea Sculpture Garden

In 1994, Jim Mason, a graduate student in the Department of Anthropology at Stanford University, arranged for two groups of men from the Sepik River region of Papua New Guinea to carve The New Guinea Sculpture Garden at Stanford University. The men were form several communities or villages of the Iatmul people and the Kwoma people. The entrance to the Garden is an open space, like the Sepik flood plain. But visitors quickly stroll into a forest of sculptures and trees reminiscent of a majestic Sepik cult house. The Papua New Guinea Sculpture Garden has its own Facebook page.
