Museums

(a)      The National Museum with a nice, concise  overview of Papuan history and culture. Name: Museum Negeri, Waena (next to the Expo).

(b)     Anthropological Museum Uncen, Abepura, Campus Uncen Lama). Here you find some of the artefacts of the Rockefeller collection, collected by Michael Rockefeller in 1961, the year of his death in South New Guinea. His father, Nelson Rockefeller, then Governor of New York, contributed to this museum and its collection. 

(c)      Pusat Kesenian (Art Centre, Waena, Expo). Here there is a collection of contemporary art. Ask for Pak Aloysius, who is himself a very deserving artist and made numerous Christian paintings with rich symbolic meaning in Roman Catholic Churches all over the regency.

(d)     Museum Demta, established by Charlie Saba, a teacher, who used to live in Demta, at the Primary school (SD YPK). with art of the Demta-Depapre cultural area. This place is now regrettably dilapidated, because Mr Shaba had to flee the country.
