Greeted by a knowledgeable and friendly employee of the museum who gave me directions around the place. As well as the incredible collection of art, both historic and relatively recent, the museum also has a very in depth and haunting exhibition regarding the earthquake, including filmed interviews with survivors. Loved what I thought was background classic music, only to discover a wonderful volunteer pianist playing live, upstairs. Great selection of items in the gift shop celebrating NZ and Maori culture. For a free museum, it's wonderful - I've been recommending it to people since I left.
It was a very wet lunchtime when we popped in here. We thought we'd spend an hour and then go and have lunch. However, it was nearly 3 hours later when we left. Thoroughly recommend the Napier Earthquake exhibition. We watched the Gaylene Preston movie (32 minutes) and found it very moving and inforrmative. Only did the museum but there's a theatre and library too in the same building.
Staff are awesome and very polite. Great place to bring family and friends to explore and learn. The MTG is spread out across three levels and includes interactive exhibits.The treasure hunt sheets are always a hit with the kids, so is the creative space for the kids as well. You can easily lose track of time, lots of fun and learning for all ages
Loved the experience. Tinge of sadness remembering the awesomely old cluttered version of the museum. Well worth a look whilst visiting Napier . Some wonderful exhibits inc the 1931 earthquake display .
Outstanding small museum looking at local history and Maori culture. Unfortunately the superb Co cert hall/cinema is much underused. Staff are excellent.
It was so interesting place, get to know about Napier...
This museum is well worth a visit for any Ange group. The staff were very helpful and pointed out a lot of activities for our children to do. We might go back the next time we're up
