The main purpose of the exhibition Lamar Kop Spiritual Centre is to display cultural masks as individual representations characterising original supernatural beings from Mer (Murray Island). In island lore all traditional rituals co-operate with spiritual institutions of the Malo-Bomai cult.

The Malo-Bomai includes the story of two mystical beings who merged to intensify one dominant entity. With jurisdiction through clusters of Islands, the Malo-Bomai lore was enforced north to Papua New Guinea, southwest to Cape York and southeast beyond the Great Barrier Reef.
