The Brooklyn Museum has an impressive collection of works from the
Mapuche culture.  Some are on view at present in our exhibition,
"Converging Cultures: Art & Identity in Spanish America", which will
travel to Phoenix, and then to The L.A. County Museum of Art.

I am not sure what kind of information you are looking for.  As I work in
the press office, I have a limited amount of information about the
collection.  I would recommend you contact the Department of the Arts of
Africa, the Pacific, and the Americas here at the Museum at 718.638.5000
x280 or Fax at 718.638.3731



Sincerely,
