Papua New Guinea Artefacts from
The Estate of Robin Leahy
Robin Grant (Leahy) Hodgson 1945 – 2025
Robin Leahy (1942 – 2025) moved to Port Moresby in 1966 setting out on her own as an adventurer eager to embrace life in Papua New Guinea and explore its arts and culture. In 1970 she married pilot Richard Leahy and together they travelled extensively across PNG collecting art—one of Robin's greatest passions. This love of travelling for artefacts led to her opening her first shop in Lae, The Melanesian Arts Centre, in the mid-1970s, where her collection and reputation as a respected artefact dealer grew. After moving to Sydney Robin served as the long-term Secretary of the Oceanic Art Society.
