Several weeks ago my assistant was op shopping and found a glass jar with the words “Jar of small delights” written in vivid. Inside the jar were lots of small bits of paper with suggestions of small delights to make life better. One of the first delights we opened was “visit the Whanganui museum”.nnIt’s Matariki and I have a three day weekend so off to Whanganui from Wellington for my small delight.nnThe museum was better than a small delight. The Waka were stunning, fascinating to see the moa bones, there was a fantastic art exhibition and there were lots of other delights as we navigated the museum. The staff were lovely and clearly very proud of their museum. I was impressed with the layout and it seemed to be kid friendly.nnThe museum is free and can easily occupy an hour of your time. Five stars.
Wanganui is a very beautiful city. We visited the museum, the library and the art gallery. Unfortunately we were not allowed to take pictures in the art gallery. The museum also has the gift shop on the ground and the beautiful café where we had lunch afterwards. We shared the mixed salad for $18.00 and it was big enough for two of us.nWe were visiting the library on our way out of the museum. I like that these places are all in one area. . I recommend to pay a visit.
It’s a very nice but so detailed museum. A nice woman named Cindy welcomed us warmly and talked us through the different exhibition. We then wandered around and we were positively surprised about the big Maori exhibitions! We would definitely recommend visiting it!
It is a great place to visit. So many amazing exhibits. We love taking the grandchild there. Hands on options as well. Kids love that.
This a great museum with awesome displays of many New Zealand Historical items and events. The displays were well laid out and the explanations were excellent. It would be one of the best museums I have visited in New Zealand.nnThe staff at reception were most helpful and very polite. They answered all my questions and helped to make my visit very worth while.
