A $3 million upgrade at The Kauri Museum, in Matakohe, was celebrated on July 22 and 23 with an official opening and open weekend.
Nearly 1000 people visited over the two days, which included free entry to the museum.
The project, which has been underway for nearly two years, included upgrades to the museum’s Gumdiggers Cafe, the creation of a new Research and Collections Centre, and a new entrance and forest walkway.
The redevelopment was funded by a grant from the Provincial Development Unit, plus contributions from Lotteries Environment and Development and Lotteries Communities.
