The Motueka District Museum is not only a repository of local history but also an active community venue, hosting exhibitions, educational programs, and cultural events. Its location in the former school building serves as a reminder of the town’s layered past, where education, community spirit, and historical preservation intersect.

We had a wonderful visit to the Motueka District Museum! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a friendly welcome from Peter. The museum offers an engaging look into the history and culture of the area. We particularly enjoyed learning about Matariki through the local kura and hearing about their whānau and their aspirations. The exhibits on the early settlers and the history of baking and apples in Motueka were fascinating. It was also a unique experience to see historians hard at work on the side of the museum. All in all, a nice way to spend half an hour or so. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!

Local museum that I has a Local Canera club at the moment.ent An extinct pair of Huia are shown . Sad to see but interesting. Local records of tobacco growing and early settlements of Maori and later settlers. Nice building that was formally the District High School. Muses cafe along side. Donation only. Support.
