About

The Rotorua Museum (Māori: Te Whare Taonga o Te Arawa) is a local museum and art gallery located in the Government Gardens near the centre of Rotorua, New Zealand. It is dedicated to art culture and heritage of Rotorua and wider New Zealand. Its collections include over 2,000 Māori taonga.

The museum has been closed since 2016 because of damage from the Kaikōura earthquake. Due to its listing on Heritage New Zealand list of historic sites as a Category 1 Historic Place (appointed in 1985), the museum is undergoing strengthening and restoration.
