I find this problem with a lot of museums - if you go off on a tangent it is often difficult to return to where you were and this place was the same. No charge but would quite happily have made a donation if there was a box available for this purpose.

This is a great little provincial museum with a number of smallish gallery spaces allowing it to show a range of collections.The largest, on Maori/European interaction was particularly good but smaller exhibitions of art works from the collection of a local philanthropist and on Bob Marley(!) were also worth a look as was the material related to a local shipwreck. Also some excellent photos throughout including from an early wide format technology. A new gallery just opened outside the main building focuse on pictures of men from the Maori Battalion who went off to foreign fields from WW1 through to Iraq is also well worth visiting. The faces of the many young men displayed seem to speak to us. One small criticism: in the main building (particularly the Maori gallery) the lighting is often very poor and it is sometimes effectively impossible to read the explanatory material. But a minor quibble; if you're a museum person this gallery is well-worth a visit if you find yourself in Gisborne.

It's closed Sunday mornings which was a bit annoying when it's your planned hideaway from the Gisborne heat, but other than that it had a wide display of local history, modern comment and provincial quirkiness. Really enjoyed the Star of Canada section in the back, according to the brochure we missed the old cottage. We really enjoyed the Memorial Hall to C Company- an iwi-driven exhibit next door which is dedicated to the locals in the Maori Battalion. Top class exhibit.

The museum contains some great displays that are very well presented but I didn't leave with a sense of having a real understanding of the history of Tairawhiti.I would have liked to see more detail.

Absolutely loved this small museum in Gisborne. For various reasons but especially because it captures the interactions between Maori and Pakeha as well as respecting the individual contributions of both cultures. At the entrance the presentation of an exquisitely carved Maori whale bone walking stick alongside several beautiful European glass cameos sets the scene. Then the various displays covering pre-European Maori culture and Captain Cook's visits. The story of Te Araroa village on East Cape. It used to be called Kawa Kawa but this got confusing with another Kawa Kawa north of Auckland. A Christian missionary arriving in the town planted a hedgerow next to his front path. the local Maori were so impressed they renamed the town Te Araroa which means path through a garden ! There is also an awesome collection of surfboards

Little museum very pleasant and not so expensive. Well thinking, it’s speak about the story of Gisborne. Interesting artefacts and some contemporary art. The end of the exhibition takes place in a great boat reconstruction.

Really enjoyed our look around this museum, we started with a coffee in the cafe which was delicious. The exhibits and information in the museum were interesting, I appreciate that precious artefacts need low level lighting but a lot of the information was unreadable due to tiny typeface and dark rooms, I did mention this to the lady on reception and she said that lots of people complain about it and she passes on their comments but nothing gets done, so come on curators, sort it out. Another thing that is worth addressing is the lack of a map/information, there were exhibitions in odd places, my husband found some interesting stuff only after walking through an art exhibition and we went in the oldest house in Gisbourne only after seeing that the back door was open.Well worth a visit though.

Definitely worth a visit to understand more about the area. Make sure you visit downstairs too and the art. Good coffee at the cafe too. We went on a Monday and just happened that it is free entry on Mondays.
