Lots of valuable artifacts and I understand it relies largely on donations to keep up its excellent displays. Fiji has a more interesting past than any other Pacific country and this place has preserved it well. More

There's nothing to dislike about the museum, it's in a beautiful location. Much to learn about the Fiji Islands. More

We live in Suva in Fiji and when we have friends visit we always spare some time to wander through the Museum. Now I am not a normal "museum" kinda guy, but this little gem is worth the couple of hours to walk around. An enormous drua (war canoe) is the main feature in the middle of the first floor.... More

This was my first trip to Fiji so it was interesting to learn some background of Fiji. There were exhibits of weapons, large outrigger canoes, dress and photos. Particularly interesting was a full room exhibit of water colour paintings of Fiji birds, fish, vegetation, ships etc which were used for Fiji postal stamps. Plenty of parking on site. More

It was OK - not massive. The boat in there is pretty impressive, but it doesn't take more than hour really. Nice grounds though More

Although I command the efforts of the Museum Staff, not enough is done to maintain current colonial building sites, and incorporate new infrastructural buildings due to poor allocation of funds from the Fiji Government and/or ability to secure further funding. Apparently, the preservation of Fiji's History is not high on the list of priorities of elected governments. More
