Help improve Atlas Obscura by expanding Fiji Museum with additional information or photos.

This wonderful museum of artifacts from throughout Fijian history includes, among other objects, wooden forks used in traditional cannibalism.

Also on display are traditional canoes (one made entirely out of bamboo) and a showcase of Indian migrants who came to the island to work for five years of servitude.
