Museum of Samoa, National museum in Apia, Samoa.

The Museum of Samoa displays artifacts, historical images, and cultural objects representing Samoan traditions in a former German colonial school building.

The museum contains archaeological discoveries from Samoa, including 3,000-year-old pottery pieces and stone tools that document early Pacific settlements.

The collections reflect fa'aSamoa through traditional tattoo equipment, ceremonial objects, and artifacts that demonstrate connections with other Pacific Island communities.

Located between Apia and Faleolo International Airport, the museum welcomes visitors Monday through Friday from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM with free admission.

The entrance features a statue of Nafanua, the Samoan goddess who predicted the arrival of Christianity, alongside the hull of John Williams's missionary vessel.
