Its collection comprises objects that reflect the history of the island in the Second World War.[1] The collection also includes the first 16mm film shot on the island, which records a faka Niutao dance in 1943.[4] Several objects in the collection have been donated by American veterans who served on Wallis.[4]
The museum has loaned objects from its collection to other institutions. Notably, a 1942 Coca-Cola bottle left behind by American troops during their occupation of the island was lent to Musée du Vivant-AgroParisTech.[2]
