ALL OF MELANESIA DISPLAY
The Otago Museum not only showcases artifacts for the Melanesian region as a whole but they also specify each and every country or island that holds their own differences from the bigger group. The displays show various artifacts from Malagan to the Solomon Islands to Vanuatu and all. Although they hold many similarities, the museum highlights their many differences too- even the slightest.

Melanesian display in the Museum
If you’re from any one of the Melanesian countries and you’re missing home, or if you’re just feeling like you need to connect with your roots and you don’t know any Melanesian community to help you with that, you could just come down to the Otago Museum and visit the Melanesian section and enjoy the various cultural items and learn about their details from the information provided by the museum regarding those items to connect with your Melanesian ancestry

MELANESIA IN DUNEDIN
This is the representation that us Pacific Islander people need in such a platform. The museum showcases the culture and people in Melanesia by displaying the different types of rocks you’d find in the island and the different types of weapons and shields they’d use at tribal wars. They have in depth descriptions at each station to explain every artifact and every story behind what’s displayed.
