Of the original 250 objects that Funk donated, the collection, with around 120 ethnographica and around 60 photographs of the islands of Melanesia and Polynesia, represents the majority of the ethnographic holdings of the Regional Museum, with a focus on the Samoa Islands and the Bismarck Archipelago. Apart from a few made models, these are original objects that were used in people's everyday lives. They mark a time when contact with Europeans has intensified. Especially the Malanggan masks from the province New Ireland in Papua New Guinea as well as the Tapa (fabrics from bark bast) are to be emphasized due to their state of preservation and their quality. This collection is to be seen for conservation reasons only in the context of special exhibitions. literature: Maubach, Peter: Dr. Bernhard Funk (1844-1911) : a Neubrandenburger in the South Seas.
