The South Pacific World War II Museum is thrilled to announce the generous grant of 800,000 Vanuatu Vatu (VT) from the New Zealand High Commission in Port Vila. This significant financial support, facilitated by New Zealand High Commissioner Nicola Simmonds, will play a pivotal role in the upcoming renovations that will transform and expand the museum.

The grant will be instrumental in almost doubling the size of the current museum, allowing for the re-establishment of a dedicated section for more general World War II exhibits. More importantly, the immensely popular SS President Coolidge exhibit will be able to remain in its current location within the present display area, providing us with two distinct exhibition zones.

The upcoming renovations, to take place over the next month, aim to enhance the museum’s capacity to educate and engage visitors with a broader range of historical content from the World War II era. This development marks a crucial milestone in the museum’s mission to preserve and share the rich history of the South Pacific during this period.
