Kaikoura Museum 3.61

The new Kaikoura Museum opened on November 23rd 2016, only 9 days after the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that hit our region on November 14th. This is a state of the art Museum experience which showcases Kaikoura's rich and diverse natural, cultural and social history. Displays include excellent exhibits of Maori taonga, colonial life, whaling, surfing and memorabilia from Kaikoura's past. We also offer research facilities for historians or those wanting to find out more about their family history. A unique Museum with some exceptional displays and very knowledge staff, the Kaikoura Museum is a must see during your time in in the district. We are open daily from 10am - 4pm.
