The Papua New Guinea High Commission was opened in 1981. The spectacular building is in the form of a Haus Tambaran or Spirit House from the Sepik River area. Totem poles guarding the entrance are carved depicting ancestral spirits. The gable of the Haus Tambaran was painted by university art students from Port Moresby. It depicts stylised images of clan ancestors. The Haus Tambaran was traditionally a meeting place for the elders in the villages. Traditional objects including a Garamut (gong drum used as a telephone in the Madang area), are on display for visitors.
Bookings are required for groups.
