Robert Louis Stevenson Museum, Literature museum in Vailima, Western Samoa.

The museum occupies Villa Vailima, a restored mansion with five bedrooms, a library, and the sole fireplace constructed in Western Samoa at that time.

The residence turned museum opened on December 5, 1994, exactly one century after the death of Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson.

The museum contains period furniture, including a piano, a Rodin sculpture, and a tablecloth presented by Queen Victoria to the Stevenson family.

Visitors can reach Mount Vaea and Stevenson's grave site through paths connecting directly from the museum grounds during opening hours.

The building features the exact layout requested by Stevenson, who named it Vailima, meaning water running through vines in Samoan language.

Opening Hours: Montag-Freitag 09:00-16:00; Samstag 9:00-12:00

GPS coordinates: -13.86661,-171.76553
