Pitcairn Island Museum
Pitcairn Island Museum is a museum in Pitcairn Island, a British Overseas Territory in the southern Pacific Ocean. The museum was located in a school for many years but moved to a new building in 2005.[1]
The museum contains ancient artefacts such as stone tools, which were made by Polynesians prior to the arrival of the mutineers, relics from the H.M.S. Bounty shipwreck,[2] a wheelbarrow, a Bible thought to be from the Bounty, and various books and articles about the history of Pitcairn Island.
