CULLED FROM TWELVE MAJOR INSTITUTIONS INCLUDING: THE SMITHSONIAN, THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY, AND THE PEABODY MUSEUM AT HARVARD, WITH VINTAGE FILIPINO ARTIFACTS. THIS IS THE FIRST DEFINITIVE, HISTORICALLY DETAILED, ACCOUNT OF THE DISAPPEARING LIFESTYLE OF THE FILIPINO HILL TRIBES. THE "LAST FILIPINO TRIBES" SURVEY EXHIBITION IS THE CULMINATION OF ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE YEAR OF CUMULATIVE RESEARCH. TOTALING MORE THAN THREE HUNDRED PIECES, THIS IS A COMPLETELY UNIQUE AND ORIGINAL PRESENTATION. THE ARCHIVAL PHOTOGRAPHS FROM INSTITUTIONS ARE ENHANCED BY HUNDREDS OF PHOTOGRAPHS AND TRIBAL ARTIFACTS RECENTLY COLLECTED IN THE FIELD. UNLIKE ANY PREVIOUSLY PRODUCED EXHIBITION, THIS INSTALLATION GUIDES THE VIEWER THROUGH THE EXPERIENCE OF THREE PHOTOGRAPHERS, OVER THE COURSE OF MORE THAN A CENTURY, WHO STUDIED AND DOCUMENTED FILIPINO TRIBAL GROUPS FROM SEVERAL OF THE EXACT SAME VILLAGES. THE ARTIFACTS HELP DRAW THE VIEWER INTO THE SPIRITUAL WORLD OF VILLAGE LIFE, WHILE THE DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHS TAKE YOU ON AN ADVENTURE OF A LIFE TIME. THIS SHOW LEAVES A MEMORABLE AFTERIMAGE PERMANENTLY IMPRINTED ON THE MIND. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN FINE ART, TRIBAL ART, ANTHROPOLOGY, OR JUST PHOTOGRAPHY, THIS EXHIBITION WILL LEAVE A LASTING IMPRESSION ON YOU FOR YEARS TO COME. THIS IS ONE OF OUR VERY BEST SHOWS! TOTAL NUMBER OF ARTIFACTS: 246
