This weighty museum plans to reopen after renovation in March 2020. The new space will house Waitaki Taonga (the Willetts Collection), one of the most important collections of first settlement Māori artefacts in NZ, as well as exhibitions linked to the Waitaki Whitestone Geopark and European heritage, including the Victorian era.
