VISIT THE GALLERIES

Ndormon offers two very different opportunities to experience Asmat, Indonesian, New Guinea, and Pacific art on California’s Central Coast. Both galleries are open by appointment only.

SAN LUIS OBISPO / EDNA VALLEY GALLERY

The San Luis Obispo gallery is located at a private residence in the Edna Valley, in a quiet ranch setting just outside San Luis Obispo.

This is the larger of the two collections, with an extensive concentration of Asmat art as well as Indonesian, New Guinea, and Pacific works. The collection has been assembled primarily through decades of field collecting and includes major ceremonial pieces, sculpture, shields, ancestor figures, textiles, and other objects from across the region.

A visit offers the opportunity to spend time with a much broader collection in an informal, private setting and to learn more about the people, places, and traditions behind the objects.

Visits are by appointment only.

MORRO BAY GALLERY

936 Main Street, Morro Bay, California

The Morro Bay gallery presents a carefully selected collection of Asmat, Indonesian, New Guinea, and Pacific art, with a particular focus on Asmat works.

The collection includes museum-quality pieces as well as highly collectible works, mostly acquired in the field and accompanied by information about where they were collected, who made them, and their cultural significance.

It is unusual to find a gallery devoted to this kind of material anywhere between Los Angeles and San Francisco, making Ndormon an unexpected stop for visitors looking for something distinctive to see in Morro Bay.

Open by appointment winter 2026

The works presented below offer only a glimpse of the collection, which extends from Asmat across the Indonesian archipelago and encompasses an extra ordinary range of textiles, beadwork, gold and silver adornment, and other objects reflecting the remarkable artistic traditions of the region.
