Lonely Planet review

All the exhibits at the National Museum, just beyond Parliament Haus, sit under a fine film of dust. But you can happily spend an hour or so looking at the displays that cover the geography, fauna, culture, ethnography and history of PNG. There are superb examples of masks, shields and totems, a magnificent Milne Bay outrigger canoe decorated in cowrie shells, and a display showing how bilums are made.

Photography is not allowed, but you can take pictures of the few birds, lizards and snakes living in the courtyard.
