What an amazing collection of art, artefacts, sculpture and culture of PNG. A remarkable collection. Don't visit Port Moresby without seeing it.

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!

great collection, i wish they'd take entry fee for safekeeping

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!

Probably the best museum I’ve ever been to. A simple but thorough collection of extremely well preserved and fascinating objects that represent the tapestry of Papua New Guinean culture. An absolute must if in Port Moresby - there isn’t much tourism completion in town!

One of the most incredible places to visit in PNG. It provides so much historical and cultural context through artifacts, clothing, and art. There is so much to see and everything is well explained. It is free to enter, but do ask for donations. Note that the staff will sometimes close the museum if they have a meeting. Recommend getting there early in the day (right when it opens) to ensure one has time to see things.

The place is so nice, PNG history is in there, from 1 tribes to another. Awesome i was amazed by the reach history of PNG. Its like going back in time and reminiscing the event of the past. I really appreciated i got a time to come here. You wont regret visiting this place.👍

I was privileged to attend the reopening following the refurbishment. Never get tired of visiting this place; it holds a lot of stories through the artworks, yet many more remain untold.

Good mix of culture and explaination of PNG. It really helps put into context their history and honors the hundreds of unique cultures.

Great place to visit in Port Moresby. The gardens around the facility are large and open and are the venue for periodic market events where local crafts and art is sold. The museum itself is free and holds a trove of local cultural artefacts that are well worth exploring. We had a great afternoon there before heading out on the Kokoda Trail.

National Museum of PNG at Port Moresby is one of the most interesting and having detailed wood carving and artifact reflecting on the history abd culture of the country. Must visit when you are in POM

The open air War Museum was superb The museum of art and history closed on Saturday, bah

Fascinating knowledge of the different cultures and tribes and their histories. Presented very well. I wish the WW2 exhibits are presented wee instead of just leaving them open to the elements.

Nice place to get away from the cbd and to learn a bit about our traditional artifacts. Free entry during week days.

PNG National Museum is just wonderful.you will get a chance to see different kinds of carvings,traditional dressings and drawings plus varieties of traditional hand tools like stone axe,digging sticks and more good things that you wish to know about provinces in the country..they also exhabit world war II war planes and remains of booms and bullets just outsidethebuilding..the environment is clean and safe for a whole school or a community to pay a visit and get to know the way of life(culture)for provinces within the country..

Highly recommended place to visit and see the history of PNG. Gate way to 22 provinces in PNG.

I've always enjoyed visiting the National Museum whenever I am in Port Moresby. With the recent renovation the atmosphere is modern and calm as the artifacts and stories takes us on a journey through the rich history of Papua New Guinea. It's a must visit for all.

A must visit when stopping in POM. A really great display of Papuan history with some artifacts dating back 8000 years!

Excellent museum with many interesting artifacts. There is an exhibit that is going in about oral histories of WWII, I hope to be able to go back and see it in the future. The air conditioning was a welcome relief from the heat of POM.

Nice museum with good collection from ancient time to world war era

My first visit to the museum and was pleasantly surprised. Lots interesting artifacts and historical information. We had a guide take us through the museum who provided some insights into the cultural elements. Well worth the visit.

This place is well worth the visit, fairly centrally located less than 10 minutes from my hotel was a bonus. The museum is really well maintained and has a lot of artifacts on display well lit if using a camera and was very quiet on a weekday. Free entry is always nice and I will definitely visit again.

Loved the museum. We were the only tourists there!

Just loved it

One of the best in the world

Well worth a visit. Get a taxi, but book a return journey.

A good experience soured because of a rude guard. Great set up inside. Wondering why the war relics are out in the weather though.

Such a nice and educated place to visit.

Best.. if they could arrange everything according to provinces or the four regions...

No guinea pigs

The Papua New Guinea National Museum and Art Gallery (NMAG) is a museum and art gallery in Waigani, Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. It is the national museum of Papua New Guinea. The board of trustees for the proposed establishment of the museum was formed in 1954. The construction of the museum started in 1975 and was opened to the public in 1977. The museum consists of the Masterpiece Gallery, Sir Michael Somare Gallery and the Independence Gallery.

Great way to appreciate how rich and ancient PNG culture is. Stone tools from 36,000 years ago, along with skull racks, and more modern paintings are on display.

Great place but needs more publicity. Younger PNG generations need to visit this place...

Great market promoting PBG culture through art. Items are prices reasonably

Great collection of historical art from around PNG. They don't have any place for snacks tho and the front office dude was watching movies and didn't realize I was waiting at the door the first two times. Otherwise, it's good

Good history of the country but the delivery is lacking. There were so many interesting items that just didn’t have enough background information.

Beautiful artifacts and history of the rich cultures and land of Papua New Guinea. Highly recommended for people who love learning and discovery.

The facelift given in 2018 made the place look spectacular.

True reflection of PNG's heritage. I like the female carvings. Lol 😉

Nice little museum it's free but please make a donation

It was fabulous. We had a lovely informative guide who was really good with the 19 children. Very worthwhile trip!

Fantastic museum!

Good place to see the real culture and history of PNG

Loved the history, best it was great to visit and free, we went on a weekday no crowds, did not take long but well worth the visit

(Translated by Google) A must see. (Original) Un lugar de visita obligada.

Love my history. Please come for visit.

Interesting place where all our cultures tradition is keep..schools and young children and adults should visit the National Museum every time to know our past cultures.

Needs Major Upgrade

Spectacular. A must see in Port Moresby

Cultural artifacts of Papua New Guinea kept here

Nahh I don’t wanna go again

A fantastic look at the culture, thank you to Andy for a wonderful guided tour.

Excellent museum. Well laid out. So much to see and learn here. Thank you!

An awesome storage of PNGs history

Excellent place to catch a glimpse of Papua New Guineanan culture and traditions.

Plenty things to show history and culture of PNG.

Still a lot of work to be done on the establishment, but other than that, it is a trip worth making

Nice history of PNG

Must visit place in Port Moresby.

Well set up, nice.

Wonderful

(Translated by Google) The most visited place in Papua New Guinea ... Small but small ... I am impressed by the exotic collection. (Original) 파푸아 뉴기니에서 가장 가볼만한 곳...규모는 작지만...이국적인 소장품에 살짝 감동...정전에 의한 관람 중지는 덤....^^
