Kimiuo Aisek Memorial Museum

Kimiuo Aisek Memorial Museum is a small museum in Neauno displaying recovered objects from shipwrecks and local historical collections. It occupies a simple building next to a dive shop and presents both wartime relics and everyday items.

The museum was founded to honor Kimiuo Aisek, a local witness to Operation Hailstone in 1944. This military campaign sank numerous Japanese warships in the lagoon and permanently altered the region.

The museum displays traditional Chuuk crafts and everyday objects from island life. These items help visitors understand how local people lived and continue to live today.

The museum sits in an easily accessible location next to a known dive shop in the village. Visitors should expect a small, informal place that may have limited visiting hours.

The museum holds items from over fifty sunken warships that rest on the lagoon floor. These wrecks form an unusual underwater archive from World War II times.
