NATIONAL LEGISLATURE

Come to the portal of this impressive building preferably at the end of the day, when the sun illuminates the mosaic. Designed by New Zealand architect Cecil Hogan, architecture is inspired by a house of spirits, typical of the Sepik River region. The famous mosaic that adorns its facade represents various aspects of life in Papua, including the figure of the shaman. New Guinean entry into modernity is symbolized by a helicopter and a long-haired pilot. Inside, you can admire a unique collection of insects in the world: the greatest butterfly, the greatest butterfly, and perhaps the greatest phasm in the world, is watching. In the middle of the hall stands a magnificent totem carved in five huge wooden logs: they are the spirits from the different regions of the archipelago. To access the interior, get information on site. Parliament has been sitting here every three months since 1984. The old building is now home to a hospital.
