Excellent displays of the history of Russell as the first settlement of New Zealand and early trading post for whalers and sealers with the Maori. Also a fine collection of books documenting the area and its history.
Russell is the earliest place settled in New Zealand and the museum gives you an insight to its early history when it was called Kororareka (or the hell hole of the Pacific). We're much more respectable now!
The Russell Museum tells the story of the development of Russell/Kororareka, from a small Maori fishing village, to a port of call for visiting ships and whalers to today’s tourist town. The collection features Maori taonga, a small waka (canoe), a one-fifth scale model of Captain Cook’s Endeavour, an original whaleboat and mementos of game fisherman, Zane Grey plus much more. Open every day (except Christmas Day). January: 10am-5pm February-December: 10am-4pm
