EAST NEW BRITAIN: A LIVING MUSEUM

A round-up list of historical locations, in East New Britain, that are guaranteed to intrigue history enthusiasts.

By Elizabeth Makis

East New Britain (ENB) has a rich traditional culture of its own, mixed together with war memorials, landmarks and colonial memories of the Australians, Germans and Japanese, as well as the locals themselves who were victims of the famous WWII Battle of New Guinea that began in 1942.

These historical sites and remains serve as a natural history museum in East New Britain (ENB).

Unlike other museum set-ups, where you find items encased in glasses and shelves in a building. In ENB, you will have the benefits and real- time feeling of walking and standing on the very soil of where those historical events unfolded. Very few destinations offer a rich array of historical experiences like East New Britain, this province is a living example of a time capsule. You get to travel back in time to experience the colonial history, World War II, volcanic eruptions, and many more.
