Pitcairn Island Museum

The Pitcairn Island Museum displays artifacts from ancient Polynesian settlements and maritime history in a modern building near the public square.

Built in 2004, the museum houses the Bounty cannon recovered from Bounty Bay in 1997, along with naval items from early settlement periods.

The collection includes stone tools crafted by early Polynesian inhabitants, demonstrating their trading networks across the Pacific region.

Museum visits require advance arrangements with local curators, and entry costs five dollars per person.

Letters exchanged between Pitcairn and Norfolk Island families form part of the archival collection, documenting inter-island communications.
