Free entry, a bijou museum to the clay and pottery industry from the 1860 to recent times. As well as exhibits video films show the working activities of yesteryear!

Visted April this year - Paid $20 cash and filled out a form to become part of “Friends of Crown Lynn” only to not become a friend of anything… reached out in May, July & October to resolve the issue, only to be told “refunds aren’t given” terrible customer service with a “mailing list” that is clearly a scam. Beware.

Bright atmosphere, the guide was very helpful and explained things in a way that kept my interest. I was pleased to be able to see a lot of equipment that was used to make bricks and also pottery. There was a blast from the past little dvd playing too that really captured everything about that time in New Lynn's history. I loved all the pottery displays, Crown Lynn was much more colourful than I expected and they made some fun figurines and eggcups too with animal themes.

What a fabulous place!The curator of this wee museum is really passionate about the history of this place and is interesting to chat with. He has big dreams for the potential of this museum.The kiln is the last one of many that were in this area producing clay pipes etc and china for use in NZ.Looking at the pottery brought back memories and I learnt that many items I am familiar were produced by Crown Lynn. Who would know as they called themselves by many names.This place is totally worth a visit.

What a fantastic little museum, I had no idea the richness of the local history and how many different types of crockery they produced.
