Rotorua Museum (Government Gardens)

Housed in a stunning 1908 Edwardian bathhouse within the tranquil Government Gardens, this museum tells the story of Rotorua's volcanic landscape and Māori heritage through engaging exhibits and artifacts. The building itself is as much an attraction as its contents, with beautifully restored period architecture and geothermal pools dotting the surrounding gardens. You'll discover everything from taonga (treasured Māori items) to the fascinating history of the famous Pink and White Terraces.
