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
Was very impressed with the presentation. Wonderful collection of history. Fabulous stories. Very friendly helpful staff. The replica of Endeavour is awesome, I can't believe a guy built it in 12 weeks.
This museum is awesome, so well curated and you can easily spend an hour plus getting lost in the displays. Would recommend to anyone visiting Russell to pop in and visit, it’s a great experience.
Impressive museum, telling the history of Russell
Wonderful and informative. We learned loads about the local history. My 6 year old loved the scavenger hunt.
