For just less than $5 of admission pay, you can enjoy Fiji’s
marvelous collection of historical and artistic relics at the Fiji
Museum. The collection includes a wide range of war clubs, cannibal
forks, tanoa bowls, shell jewelry, and other Fijian ruins from the
early development days of the island. Although some artifacts were
damaged by Suva's humidity while they were hidden away during World
War II, much remains. A must see at the Museum is the Masi Cloth,
and Indian art exhibits in an air conditioned gallery on the upper
floor levels. Check out the museums gift shop, it is said to carry
a rare golden cowrie shell that was selling for F$7,500 (US$4,500).
Tired of all the walking and just want a cool drink and bite to
eat, take a break at the museums café, it serves drinks,
snacks, and local food such as curries.
