Centre Jacques Brel

The museum displays photographs, personal items, and the original aircraft named Jojo belonging to the Belgian singer Jacques Brel within a converted hangar.

This museum opened after Jacques Brel's death in 1978, preserving the legacy of the singer who spent his final years on Hiva Oa island.

The exhibition space contains French-language displays chronicling Brel's musical career, featuring posters, recordings, and memorabilia from his performances.

The museum operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 17:00, with Saturday morning hours from 8:00 to 12:00.

The centerpiece of the museum is Brel's restored aircraft Jojo, which he used to transport mail and medical supplies between Polynesian islands.
