Vanuatu Cultural Centre

The Vanuatu Cultural Centre features exhibitions, archives, and collections that document indigenous traditions across the archipelago's numerous islands.

Founded in 1955, the museum initially operated from Port Vila's waterfront before relocating to a purpose-built facility in 1995 with architectural elements from northern islands.

The museum maintains a Kastom School program where young individuals learn traditional arts, storytelling techniques, and ancestral practices from community elders.

Located opposite the National Parliament in Nambatu, the center houses the National Museum, Film Unit, Cultural Survey, Archives, and Library under one roof.

The center's audio collection captures tropical jungle sounds and tribal chants, preserving the acoustic heritage of Vanuatu's indigenous communities.
