National Museum and Art Gallery (PNG War Museum)

Port Moresby
National Capital District, Papua New Guinea

Not far from government house in Port Moresby, in a recently built up section of the city, is the Papua New Guinea National Museum and Art Gallery. In the courtyard of the building is a rather sad collection of World War II artifacts, now rusting in the humid, rainy climate. The weapons inside the museum, mostly spears, have fared better. The PNG War Museum owns a large collection of weaponry and relics from the Second World War, including the following planes: - Ford Tri-Motor 5-AT A45-1 - P-400 Airacobra AP347 - CA-1 Wirraway A20-13 - P-38F Lightning 42-12647 - Ford Tri-Motor 5-AT A45-2 - G4M1 Betty Wing Wreckage
