A Museum
“The Territory Museum and Art Gallery is only a start,” said Mr.
Justice Mann, president of the Trustees, at the official opening in October.
He said it was hoped there would be an art school attached and that the museum would become a centre for cultural and scientific activities.
It might one day, too, be a tourist attraction.
However, the Museum was essentially for the public of Papua- New Guinea and was not intended primarily as a tourist attraction.
Papua - New Guinea's Museum building was officially opened on October 15. The opening was in conjunction with the official opening of the new Legislative Council chambers —for the Museum takes up the lower portion of the same building. Here on the dais at the open ing is the P-NG Chief Justice Mann, and the Museum trustees. Mr.
Justice Mann has done a tremendous job of work in establishing the Museum.
