Reviews
It is a lovely free museum to visit. Highly recommend!nnAlexandra is famous for the gold discovered nearby during the last century.nnNow it is significant with horticulture and the stone-fruit industry, which is celebrated by a blossom festival in the town each spring.nnThe first orchards planted provided fruit for the mining community.nnNow, nectarines, apricots, cherries, peaches, plums and apples are grown and sold for both New Zealand and export markets. Seasonal work picking fruit is available during the summer and many tourists and Pacific Islanders come to New Zealand to work in Alexandra.nnIt is apparent, that there is more bustling economic activity here in Alexandra, with more cafes and restaurants than the nearby towns of Cromwell and Clyde combined.
Very interesting, lots of beautiful local art and history about Alexandra/Otago. Staff were very friendly and kind
Central Stories Museum is great place to visit, staff is supper help and nice, we walk in the museum few minutes before door close at 4pm, but he allowed us to continue enter because he still some tidy works to do, instread he could turn us away. Museum is free entry. Excellent.
It was just a whim to go in here and we thought we would be five minutes. We were quite a bit longer. What a little treasure. This is a fantastic museum. Art gallery as you go in with lovely local art work and then the museum in the back. It has displays on all the different aspects of the area history - the gold mining, the building of the dam, NIWA.... Cost is by donation,. Definitely worth a visit. Highly recommend.
The April holiday programme is a delight. Well researched and great resources and information. Lots of children enjoying getting their passports stamped. Thank you everyone.
