The Musée de Nouvelle-Calédonie is a museum situated in Nouméa, the capital city of New Caledonia. It is a significant cultural institution that showcases the rich history and diverse cultures of the region. The museum houses a vast collection of artifacts and exhibits that represent the indigenous Kanak culture, as well as other Oceanic societies.
The collections of the Musée de Nouvelle-Calédonie are diverse and extensive, featuring artifacts from the Kanak culture and other Oceanic societies. These include ancient sculptures, totems, funerary masks, pottery, adornments, jewelry, Kanak currencies, spears, rooftop arrows, and a reproduction of a large hut installed in its inner courtyard.

In 2020, local authorities initiated the construction of the future museum, named Muz. This new project aims to bring together all the communities of the islands, symbolizing a fresh start for the museum.
