      Discover what's inside Waikato Museum. Seated on the banks of the Waikato River in the heart of Hamilton's cultural precinct, Waikato Museum provides a rich experience of the arts and culture of the region. Presenting an inspired programme which seeks to challenge and celebrate, the museum tells the stories of our arts, culture, history and science.
      Waikato Museum's 12 galleries exhibit a range of long-term and touring exhibitions. Highlights include the majestic 200-year-old carved Waka Taua (Maaori war canoe) - Te Winika, artwork by prominent New Zealand and regional artists and engaging and interactive science experiences.
      A regular programme of activities and events is available to further enhance your visit, as well as ArtsPost Galleries & Shop next door.
      ArtsPost sells a uniquely New Zeland range of quality art and design pieces. The three galleries at ArtsPost feature new exhibitions from Waikato artists every 5-6 weeks.
