Pulu Cocos Museum

The Pulu Cocos Museum displays collections of naval artifacts, traditional costumes, and botanical specimens from the Indian Ocean territory.

The museum, established in 1987, documents the 150-year private rule of the Clunies-Ross family who managed copra plantations with Malay workers.

The institution preserves the heritage of Cocos Malay communities through exhibits of traditional weapons, shadow puppets, and local currency tokens.

Visitors can access the museum on Home Island, where they receive information about the natural environment and social structure of the territory.

The museum houses a collection of wayang kulit puppets that were featured on Australian postal stamps in 2018.
