It amazes me that a place as pristine and peaceful as the Solomon Islands has ever had war within a hundred miles of it's shores, but these photos show the amazing devastation that World War II had on the area. PNG also played a pivotal role in the war with the Japanese coveting their minerals and the allies in need of their landing bases. These photos are from a small place in PNG that houses some WW II artifacts, tragically for sale, so I don't think it can be called a museum but it's amazing to see the area then and now. These photos cover both the Solomon Islands and PNG.
