A place worth remembering
A Nauru photo archive at Naoero Museum
The Government of Nauru locates the Naoero Museum in Yaren. A report dated 4 November 2025 says the museum received more than 50 digitally restored photographs of Nauru from the German occupation period. The pictures had been held at the Museum Five Continents in Munich; after visiting it, Nauru’s Ambassador to Geneva Frederick Pitcher requested their acquisition, and German Honorary Consul Martin Heyne arranged restoration and delivery. Fifteen were framed for immediate display. The report also says Munich’s collection includes 75 historical Nauru photographs donated by Max Biermann, a German Imperial Commissioner, in 1891.[2][3]
A library linking a school, training centre and USP campus
Nauru Secondary School, the technical and vocational training centre and the USP campus shared a Community Library at the Learning Village. A March 2018 USP newsletter places the Learning Village in Yaren; the library and campus opened on 21 May 2018. A June newsletter describes the resources available then: print and electronic USP course materials, a children’s corner and an initial fiction-and-non-fiction selection.[4][5]
Moqua Cave’s spring in Yaren District
An environmental examination prepared for the Asian Development Bank places Moqua Cave in Yaren District (spelled Yarren in the report) and reports a spring flowing naturally inside it. Nauru’s 2014 biodiversity report describes an underground lake at Moqua Cave and says the island has neither rivers nor freshwater on the surface.[6][7]
