Tino pai! First time visit for our West Coast family (Kumara). Unreal experience that has gifted us with a much richer perspective of Te Waipounamu. Looking forward to showing friends and family through in the years ahead.

Thoroughly enjoyed the walk through of this exhibition. Amazing graphics and exhibition pieces. But mostly enjoyed the purakau and learning about a piece of Te Tai Poutini history.

Great opportunity to learn the history of the Maori tribes in Westland, with the trade in valuable pounamu/greenstone being the driver. This multimedia exhibition has been created very professionally and provides a great experience, well worth the entry fee. Take your time, let it soak in and leave feeling you know a whole lot more about the history of this area.

Local history shared in a modern way. The ingenuity of WETA combined with artful local story telling. A must see on any trip to Greymouth. I came away with a deep respect and better understanding of the deep routes that are planted in this place.

Amazing experience! So cool to see this happen in Greymouth. It really pops out in the town, you could get trapped in there for hours. There is stuff in there for everyone! Really recommend it.
