Rotorua Museum
About
On North Island, Rotorua Museum occupies a heritage building in Government Gardens Oruawhata Drive, Rotorua 3046, New Zealand, and is known for its collections and its setting among the city's thermal reserves. First-time visitors should note that the museum is closed indefinitely, due to earthquake damage, so the building can only be viewed from outside.
Visitors rate Rotorua Museum 4.3 out of 5 across 327 reviews, a record built over a long period of public access. Its position in Rotorua puts it within reach of Auckland, Wellington, Taupo, Hamilton, Tauranga, Napier and New Plymouth, so it can be worked into a North Island driving route. The website at http://www.rotoruamuseum.co.nz/ carries further details about the building and its status.
Rotorua sits on the North Island's volcanic plateau, where hot springs and geysers are part of the landscape. New Zealand's weather is changeable, and the surrounding ocean keeps both summer heat and winter frost moderate, so layers suit a day out. Hāngī, a meal cooked in an earth oven, and the pavlova dessert are both part of New Zealand food culture, and both appear on menus in the region.
