The Fiji Museum, set within Thurston Gardens, is the country's premier cultural repository. Visitors explore exhibits spanning prehistoric Lapita ceramics, Fijian war canoes, and artifacts from the colonial era and indentured labor period. The collection includes the rudder of the Bounty and relics of Fiji's chiefly traditions. A visit offers insight into the islands' complex social and political evolution, from early settlement through independence.
