Pacific Voices

The Pacific Northwest is home to a rich tapestry of cultures. In Pacific Voices, you'll learn about seventeen different Pacific Rim cultures and how they adapt and remain vibrant in a changing modern world. Here you can learn about the revival of a dying language, hear the teachings of tribal elders, view beautiful Asian art, and learn about the ceremonies vital to cultural identity. The exhibit show-cases a wide variety of interesting artifacts from Washington State and around the Pacific Rim.

An excellent sampling of Northwest Coast Native art is currently on view in the Pacific Voices exhibit.  To view these objects go to Ethnology Collection Database
