The museum has a wealth of information and a variety of exhibition areas to explore different areas according to different tastes. Everything from the history of New Zealand and the Maori to learning about art exploration, old clothes and street displays, to environmental/protection education displays. Highly recommend this place, even if it is just a quick visit, if you have time to allow you to spend2-3 hours to see everything. The only downside is that parents can't control their children, children banging on the glass, and young people who think they can smoke e-cigarettes in museums.
