Fiji Museum
One of the most important museums in the South Pacific. It holds giant double-hulled canoes, the famous "cannibal fork" and colonial-era artifacts.
The Fiji Museum is located in Thurston Gardens. Its collections cover more than 3,000 years of Fijian archaeology. They include traditional canoes, among them a 13-meter double-hulled war canoe, clubs and the famous "cannibal fork," tapa bark cloth, the history of Indo-Fijian indentured laborers, and colonial-era objects such as a rudder from HMS Bounty. The galleries are not large, and you can see them in 1–2 hours. It is the best place to start learning about Fijian culture. The museum is closed on Sundays. Admission is about 10–15 Fijian dollars.
