Pohnpei Lidorkini Museum
Lidorkini Museum
A small state museum in Kolonia displaying artifacts from Nan Madol, traditional tools, sakau equipment, and colonial history.
The museum is named after Lidorkini, a hero of Pohnpeian legend. It is modest in scale and displays traditional canoes, fishing gear, woven goods, sakau grinding stones, archaeological finds from Nan Madol, and old photographs from the Spanish, German, Japanese, and American periods. It is a good place to learn background before visiting Nan Madol. Located in downtown Kolonia, admission is cheap, but opening hours are irregular, so check with your hotel before going.
