Kia ora and welcome to Rotorua Museum
Te Whare Taonga o Te Arawa

Rotorua Museum Te Whare Taonga o Te Arawa closed in 2016 following a seismic assessment that showed it fell well below earthquake safety standards.

The good news is that it can be fixed and a project to strengthen the building and redevelop the exhibitions is now underway. The Museum is currently scheduled to reopen towards the end of 2025. To find out more about the Museum redevelopment project click here.
