Watch highlights of the Oceania opening

Ahead of the exhibition opening, representatives from across Oceania, artists and supporters joined a procession through London to the RA.

They were met by a ceremonial welcome from Ngāti Rānana, the London Māori Club, who represented the RA as the tangata whenua (hosts). While a private blessing took place in the exhibition galleries, there were performances outside from different countries of Oceania.

Oceania is in the Main Galleries until 10 December 2018.
