Taupo Museum and Art Gallery

Lovely activity to spend a couple of hours! The exhibition is super interesting and the staff is very nice 🥰

Cool little museum and art display, perfect if your in the area, some cool history from the area as well.

Great place to visit. We went there on a rainy day. Recommended.

Small yet compact museum. Well laid out and the permanent exhibits were very informative and well researched. 4 stars because in the exhibition space there was a political statement on one of the artworks. Politics and political slogans have no place in an art exhibition.

It's a good place to bring your family in for a visit and they have little quest for the kids too. Great things to look at and good history to read about Taupo. There are artefacts, newspaper clippings which you can read, see, and touch. And next to the museum building there is a beautiful rose garden which you can walk about, sit and relax and enjoy the colourful roses surrounding the you. Take a whiff at the different roses and immerse with the delightful surprise scents from each of them.

Wow... there was so much, an awesome 2 hrs on a rainy day... Lots of memories of my childhood in the walls. A fantastic embroidery show was in it's last day. I couldn't do that, I don't own the skill set starting with patience... They need their volunteers back for support... I'll do it 100% if I end up living here!!!

This is a lovely and well organised museum. We only had an hour and we ran out of time before it closed. It has some interesting information on the volcano, the forestry history and is well balanced with the Maori stories. One of the highlights for me were the journal entries for peoples caravan holidays to Taupo in the 50’s & 60’s. Well worth a visit.

Small but well curated museum with a separate art gallery and reflection garfen
