Bibliothèque Bernheim, Public territorial library in Noumea, New Caledonia.
The metal-framed colonial building contains multiple reading rooms, administrative offices, and a music collection across two interconnected structures.
Originally constructed as New Caledonia's pavilion for the 1900 Paris Universal Exhibition, the structure was dismantled and rebuilt in Noumea between 1901 and 1904.
The library maintains a collection of 142,000 documents, including 20,000 items dedicated to New Caledonia and Pacific heritage materials.
Located at 41 Avenue du Maréchal-Foch, the library operates a mobile service that brings books to villages and tribes without fixed infrastructure.
The building features a metal framework designed by Gustave Eiffel and stands within a 4,500-square-meter garden with lawns and trees.
