Timor-Leste is home to a number of museums, including the Timorese Resistance Archive and Museum and Centro Nacional Chega! in Dili, the capital, and the Balibo Fort Veterans' Museum in Balibo, Bobonaro Municipality. Regional museums were established in four of Timor-Leste's municipalities in the early 2020s.
Plans for the creation of a national museum and cultural center have been in development since 2010. In 2022, Timor-Leste's parliament allocated US$2.2 million for the project.
