La Korrigane was a fishing boat turned expedition vessel, which the Count of Ganay took to the South Seas on a museum-sponsored, anthropological voyage of discovery between 1934 and 1936. The expedition brought back more than 2,500 objects, which were eventually put on display in the exhibition advertised here. From a photo by M. Gautherot.
