I took a trip out to Okains Bay this weekend. The Bay is on the Banks Peninsula (see the map below with the yellow Arrow). The museum is a treasure trove of Maori and early European artifacts. I highly recommend a visit to it, it was fascinating!
A model of Canterbury and the Banks Peninsula.
The Maori meeting house.
A South Island Kiwi – there were a lot of bird exhibits.
A Maori food preserve.
A colonial house with stable next door.
Inside the colonial house – it had the tiniest chairs.
