Small museum, exhibits are well done. Covers history of Fiji with exhibits on early settlement as well as more recent history, and an impressive ocean-going drua (ocean-going canoe). Worth a visit. Has a large veranda with a nice cafe. Next to Thurston Gardens where we enjoyed watching the fruit bat colony wake up in the evening
Located in the back of the pretty Thurston Gardens, this cute little museum can be visited in about 40 minutes, is nice and cool (air conditioned), has very nice and clean public restrooms, and it has at least one super unique artifact (partial rudder from HMS Bounty aka Mutiny on the Bounty fame). Otherwise the museum had some moderately interesting artifacts that are well marked, although most are either reproductions or 20th century. It is FJD 20 each for foreigners, but they do charge a 5% extra fee if you pay with credit card.... Nevertheless it was $9.50USD each (after cc fee) for arguably the only real tourist attraction in Suva and we were happy with our visit.
Visited Suva National museum while travelling to Fiji. You have option to buy tickets with a local guide with some additional charges . We took a local guide and it was worth it as she explained about the history of Fiji very well. A lot work is still going on to digitize the work but all together a nice experience if you want to learn about the place . Not much to do for kids so find something to keep them busy while you visit.
Is a must to visit if you come to Suva ,super convenient just look for express bus ‘Pacific Transport FJ express bus’ , we get a timetable from the host desk and the bus comes every hour, outside there’s a clock tower easy to recognise. I gain some history knowledge that’s why I love museums. Ticket is 20FJD/person
this is a must-see for anyone who wants to obtain a cursory understanding of the history of Fiji. It touches on who the Fijians were prior to colonization: their modes of transportation, dress, textiles, culture, and other artifacts. It then displays life post colonization, the British uniforms, missionary dolls, and the introduction China indentured Indians and other interesting finds. There was a cute gift shop, and attached cafe upon exit. (Edited to correct typos.)
