TWO high-ranking Samoan chiefs,
Lofipo of Savai’i, and Mana giamanu of Upolu, have called for the establishment of a Robert Louis Stevenson memorial museum at Apia.
The matter was to be discussed at the February Legislative Council meeting.
Various suggestions have been made as to the location—ranging from a special room at Vailima to a building on top of Vaea mountain (at the tomb of Stevenson), and a special house of Samoan design at Mulipuu.
It has been suggested that such a museum would become a major tourist attraction—and if located at sea-level would save visitors the pre sent stiff climb to the Stevenson tomb on top of Vaea.
