For you who love art and History. You may enjoy the beauty and History of PNG from the artefacts. The flow and presentation is really good and well prepared. The information in each diorama is really useful. It will be really good if the management provide audio as well. Must visit list while in PNG!

I visited this museum and art gallery 4 years ago when I was attending the 2018 APEC Summit. This museum visits was part of the spouse program for 2018 APEC leaders' spouses. Our First Lady, Madame Iriana Joko Widodo, was part of the spouses who visited this museum. As someone who likes museum and antique stuffs, I was impressed by this museum artifact collection. This place is like the house for the rich natural, cultural, and contemporary heritage of Papua New Guinea. This museum collections include object relating to music, body adornment, ceremony, marks and totem poles, etc. The guide said that there was more than 50.000 ethnographic objects in the museum collections. Wow! I think this museum is a must visit for all coming to Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea!
