The Jean-Marie Tjibaou Cultural Centre, on the narrow Tinu Peninsula, approximately 8

kilometres (5.0 mi) northeast of the historic centre of Nouméa, the capital of New Caledonia,

celebrates the vernacular Kanak culture, the indigenous culture of New Caledonia, amidst

much political controversy over the independent status sought by the Kanaks from French

colonial rule. It opened in June 1998 and was designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano and

named after Jean-Marie Tjibaou, the leader of the independence movement who was

assassinated in 1989 and who had a vision of establishing a cultural centre which blended the

linguistic and artistic heritage of the Kanak people.[1][2]
