Multiplying Contexts for the Forster ('Cook-Voyage') Collection at the Pitt Rivers Museum, University of Oxford

Welcome to the home page of the Pacific Pathways project

This page provides access to a selection of electronic 'paths' through and beyond the Forster Collection web site. In 2003 a series of paths were commissioned from Pacific artists, anthropologists, art historians, and museum curators. They used a newly developed 'path-making' facility to provide a range of different interpretations of the collection, putting it into different historical and contemporary contexts.

Commissioned Paths

Now the 'path-making' facility is available for anyone to use. To see existing paths, or to create your own, follow the links below.
