Kokopo War Museum
Delve into history at Kokopo War Museum, a site displaying collections that revolve around the clashes of World War II. Look for authentic relics like numerous Japanese artillery pieces, tanks, and even an A6M2 Zero fighter in great condition. Other items include photographs and the painted nose cone of an American B-17 bomber. English explanations are provided for most objects, but keep in mind the organization of the collections can be confusing, so you may want to seek out a guide.

I hope this continues to be maintained, as it contains a lot of important history. There's a lot of very fascinating artifacts from WWII here, and the staff were more than helpful.

Check out behind the front building. There are some good masks and cultural items. Did as part of a tour and plenty of items to look at.
