MINISTER of Culture and Tourism (MCT), Choylin Douglas, has praised the dedication and hard work of Ministry staff in bringing the House No. 1 Museum project in Tulagi, Ngella to completion.

Douglas, who also serves as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Ngella Constituency in the Central Islands Province, said this during the official handover ceremony of the project to the Central Islands Provincial Government last week.

“To my hardworking team at the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, led by Permanent Secretary Barney Sivoro — thank you for your presence and unwavering commitment,” Douglas said. “This project, the first of its kind in the province, would not have been possible without your tireless efforts. I commend each and every one of you who helped turn this vision into reality.”

The museum, set to open in November, will cater to public particularly targeting tourists, researchers, and high school students.

Its development was made through the joint support of the Central Islands Provincial (CIP) Government, the Ministry of Provincial Government and Institutional Strengthening (MPGIS), and funding from the Provincial Capacity Development Fund (PCDF).

 A tripartite Memorandum of Understanding between the MCT, MPGIS, and CIP Government enabled the successful implementation of the project.
