Rotorua Museum

The museum was not really on Sarah and I's initial agenda, but thanks to a little help from mother nature, our outside activities on the schedule were delayed. As we looked through our tour guides, it pointed us to the Rotorua Museum, and it was definitely worth the time. The museum is broken into several different wings, each with its own interesting look into the city and the cultures that have called it home. The first wing we visited showed us how the Maori culture has grown and shrunk over the years based on war, volcanoes, and the European influence. A second wing shows the original use of the building, as a thermal therapy center and bathhouse, with access to the basement and the inner workings of how the therapy worked in those days. The other wings included information on the 28th Maori Battalion and the art of the Rotorua area. I would definitely recommend this museum for all history buffs.

Bath House Building

Museum is always an interesting place to visit and learn about the history of people, place, and culture. The Rotorua museum is located in the Bath House building, which is very unique and wonderful. And the park around the Bath House is very nice. The photo I place here is from: http://www.rdc.govt.nz/

Government Gardens and the old
Bath-house.

This beautiful old building was originally built as a government owned bath-house for tourists in the days when spas were fashionable. It today houses the Rotorua Museum and is surrounded by Government Gardens.

Rotorua Museum

The museum is a beautiful old building located within the government gardens. The Polynesian Spa is located very close by. The museum building itself is the old bathhouse and is a fantastic photo opportunity in itself. Inside the museum offers plenty of information on the history of Rotorua and the volcanic region it is built on.

Rotorua Museum is pretty, with Tudor architecture style. It is here that we could learned about Maori culture and Rotorua's history. The same complex also houses Rachel Springs and Blue House spa.

This building is the original Rotorua Bathouse, which in the early 1900's was a very special place for therapeutic spas, using the power of the geothermal, of course. Also the famous mud of Rotorua was also used in the therapies. Now the Bathouse is a museum, and you can see how it used to be, plus some rooms of art and other exhibits. Well worth a visit, and the outside of the building is especially pleasing to the eye.

Visitors take a step back in time, wandering past immaculate bowling greens and approaching the building known as the Bath-House by a gently rising carriage road. Thermal springs that once fed the spa are observable. Enjoy lively commentary from the team of informative guides. Twice daily tours commence in the reception foyer area at 11:00am and 2:00pm. The volunteer guides who help make a museum visit interesting, instructive and entertaining. No additional charge for this service.
