Absolutely a must do! So well done, informative and professional. A great way to learn about the history without it feeling like a history lesson in school. The staff are professional and friendly. This is something greymouth to be very proud of

Māori resurgence

This is a fantastic exhibition and it is truly great to see the Māori story and culture reappearing on the South Island. This is a must do attraction and is worth way more than 5 stars.

Fascinating history and legends of pounamu

We booked this to avoid the rain - best decision! The experience was really inspiring & immersive, and I loved that all the signage was in Te Reo and English so I had a chance to learn more about the language as well. The myths were fascinating, how they merged into the history of the discovery of pounamu and the settlement of the area, the Māori wars for control of the mountainous region that held the treasured green stone and the routes from east to west, and later European colonisation. Really worthwhile exhibition and beautifully & creatively presented.
