Fodor's Expert Review Tonga National Center
Nuku'alofa
This is a one-stop-shop for dance, music, carving, and old and modern art. The center provides insight into the stately styles of Tongan cultural life, which remain a part of the daily routines of modern Tongans. Here you’ll find a variety of exhibitions and shows, which usually start at midday and include an ornate version of kava drinking (a popular beverage with narcotic properties) that Tongans have ritualized almost as much as the Japanese have with tea.
