Naoero Museum
A small thatched entrance canopy welcomes visitors to Nauru’s stone-faced museum.

The story behind the place
Naoero Museum gathers objects and photographs that help tell Nauru’s history. A government bulletin describes the return of more than fifty restored photographs from the period of German colonial rule, adding to the museum’s visual record of island life. Such collections can bring difficult as well as familiar stories into view. The museum’s modest entrance offers a starting point for discovering the people and changes behind them.
