On the narrow Tina Peninsula of approximately 8 hectares, given by the Noumea Council, the Tjibaou Cultural Centre was inaugurated in May 1998 and was designed by the Italian architect Renzo Piano. The Centre is a place of identical assertiveness and cultural gathering and creation. Through its original configuration, the Tjibaou Cultural Centre offers a lot of cultural activities as you can find there an art centre, exhibitions spaces, show areas and a specialized multimedia library. Depending on its activity, the audience changes quantitatively and sociologically. Transferred to New-Caledonia in 2012, newly named ADCK-CCT aims to search, collect and promote the kanak cultural heritage, to initiate and develop kanak artistic creation, to provoke the emergence of common cultural practices and references, to be a pole of regional and international exchanges The Tjibaou Cultural Centre recorded 98 405 visitors in 2011. It employs 65 persons.

The building architecture is pretty cool and quite unique. We visited on a Saturday and it seemed everything was not fully open even though we still paid full price. Recommend to go during the week if you decide to visit.

Stunning architecture
Beautiful building but limited exhibition. Perhaps most of the treasures of New Caledonia and other Pacific nations are now in Paris as rewards for the imperialists. There are a a few empty rooms waiting for their unlikely return perhaps? The building is exquisite. Unfortunately we visited during a tropical storm and we’re unable to venture outdoors to see the rest.
