alele museum, library and archives

Good try to save something of the tradition and history of the Marshall-Islands.The only place where you get an idea of the former and lost capabilities of the Marshallese people, that surrendered to American Junk.

Lots to see and read and great air conditioning! If you are interested in the culture of the Marshall Islands it may take several visits of browsing the rooms to get it all.

Like the country itself, the museum is small -- just two size rooms and a hallway. An hour is plenty of time for the visit. However, the exhibits are quite well done and this is a clean, respectable setting, not a a dusty, shabby place.Dscriptions are in English and Marshallese and are printed in large, easy-to-read text, unlike many museums.The museum entrance is free. Lots of poor countries demand absurd fees to see their small national museums. So, it's a nice gesture to put a few dollars in the donation box.Grading on a curve

There is not a lot to do on the Island of Majuro. If youre looking for something to spend sometime and understand the culture, this is a definite insight. The museum is very small, basically one medium sized room. There are displays on geology, geography, people and their culture. I felt like I learned a decent amount about the migration of mankind throughout the islands in the pacific. There were informative displays of local shells and also another on tools/implements. Nice displays on weaving, and good examples of the history of the kind of weaving you'll see around the island. There was a nice explanation of how the patterns in weaving related to natural forms. All told I spent about 45 minutes there. It was a nice change from sun and sea. There is also a public library on site, but I did not visit. ANywhere else this would not be a four star attraction, but given the dearth of options, it was definitely worth seeing
