Exploring Fiji’s Rich Heritage at the Fiji Museum
Tucked into Suva’s heritage precinct, the Fiji Museum is a must-visit for anyone curious about the islands’ unique culture, history, and heritage. Step inside and you’ll find everything from traditional sailing canoes and ancient pottery to intricate necklaces made from whale’s teeth. Each exhibit tells the story of Fiji’s Indigenous peoples - including Rotuma - and the communities who’ve called the islands home over the past 200 years.
Less
As the nation’s museum, its mission is to protect and share Fiji’s cultural treasures in a way that’s easy and engaging to explore. With more than 10,000 objects, you’ll discover textiles, flatwork, archaeological finds, natural history specimens, and archival photos that bring the islands’ past to life.
The museum isn’t just about what’s on display. It actively shapes Fiji’s wider cultural scene, partnering with local and international organizations to celebrate and share the islands’ story with the world.
After exploring the museum’s fascinating exhibits, stop by the onsite gift shop for books on Fiji’s history and culture or pick up souvenirs and unique gifts to take home. And don’t miss the charming café on the museum verandah - a perfect spot to enjoy a hot coffee or sweet treat while soaking in the peaceful surroundings of Thurston Gardens.
