Visiting here is well worth it. Tells the history of the area, ship wrecks, port info and most importantly the people that made this area. Plus TOMATO SAUCE, Zoom I to the picture and find out how it started. Today, you are not a kiwi if you don't have tomato sauce (on a pie(

Interesting books in the shop, rocks to touch, Maori and early settlers items, mounted animals and birds all tell the story of the inhabitants of the area. Tidy and well-lit, laid out in curves to draw the visitor onward. Plenty of visitors wandering through; children were enjoying a competition to find how many poppies were placed around the Museum
