Small, but well packed with a wide range of exhibits showing the history of Russell. The centre piece being the detailed scale model of James Cook's ship, the Endeavour. All the exhibits were in good condition. Entry fee is fairly reasonable. Expect to spend about 30 minutes looking around.
The museum is quite small. My most favorite item is the 1/5 size model of the Endeavor.
The entrance of the museum is on the other end for those who came back ferry nnThe museum also has a small theatre. Estimated visits are somewhere around an hour.nnThere is an admission fee of $12 per adult.
If you’re staying in Russell, you can’t miss this museum — definitely worth a visit!
The Russell Museum shares the stories of Kororāreka Russell and Īpipiri Bay of Islands.nnIt tells the stories of the first Māori arrivals in the Bay, through to the development of Russell / Kororāreka, from a small Māori fishing village, to a port of call for visiting ships and whalers to, today's tourist town nnAmong the museum collections is Māori taonga including a small waka canoe an exact one-fifth scale model replica of Captain Cook's Endeavour, an original whaleboat and mementos of game fisherman, Zane Grey.nnI enjoyed watching the DVD of historic Russell and seeing the exhibitions that are on display in the gallery. It is very well curated.nnThe Russell Museum operates as a registered charity and does not receive any funding for operational expenses. The Museum is self funded by the entrance fee, research charges, and profits from the Museum shop
