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!
