After its renewal, the Oceanic Cultural Museum, a facility for experiencing oceanic culture, re-opened in October of 2013. As the overall supervisor of the renewal, I would like here to explain the main features and significance of the museum. I would especially like to introduce the four large canoes, each with its own story, and each in its own way connected with the rebuilding of communal bonds and the raising of awareness. The Oceanic Cultural Museum is not a display of exoticisms from an earlier era. It is a door into the society of today's Oceania.
