Alele Museum-Library and National Archives in Majuro, Marshall Islands
Alele Museum-Library and National Archives in Majuro, Marshall Islands
Set up as a nonprofit venture in 1981, the Alele Museum is dedicated to preserving the folk arts, traditional skills, historic accounts and oral traditions of the indigenous population of the Marshall Islands. The permanent exhibition features historical photos, handicrafts, artwork and tools. A small shop stocks gifts, maps and books about the islands. Upstairs is the bright, cheerful library, which features a children's reading room and a Pacific section.
The Alele Museum, Library, and Archives in Uliga, next to the RMI Court House, is definitely worth a visit. The entity languished for many years, but thanks to a big effort by a number of caring individuals, it was reopened in September, 2013 after extensive renovations.
Upstairs is the library, which features a colorful children’s room and a separate Pacific Islands collection room. There are many treasures to be found in this room… but you’ll have to hunt them out.
The museum is downstairs and is spread over three main rooms. While small, it is a charming exhibit featuring items relating to traditional Marshallese navigation, warfare, tools, instruments, decorative handicrafts and jewelry, and clothing. Descriptions accompany each object, along with beautiful historic photographs, many of which come from the Joachim deBrum collection.
