National museum Port Moresby

Couple of questions more.
Does anyone happen to have an email address for The Goroka lodge?
And; anyone know the opening hours (and days) of the national museum in Port Moresby?

Thanks in advance,

Natalie.

From memory, the Museum is open Mon-Fri all day (probably safe to count on 9am to 3 or 4pm) and Sun afternoons.

Natalie,

Just checked in my LP (May 2008 edition). It says the Museum is open 8.30am to 3.30pm M-F and Sun 1-3.30pm.
You should consider combining it with a visit to Parliament Haus (LP says 8am-noon & 1-3pm M-F, which I think is correct from memory). There is a dress code for Parliament Haus, so wear something neat and not too revealing.

The area where these 2 attractions are, is not exactly the best part of town - not sure how you were planning to get out there. My advice would be to go on a weekday, about 9-10am. Be mindful of your surrounding and don't take valuables.

Cheers...
