Kauri Museum, Heritage museum in Kaipara District, New Zealand.
The museum spans 4,500 square meters of exhibition space, displaying extensive collections about the kauri tree industry and early settler life.
Founded in 1962 as the Pioneer Museum, the institution evolved from a local heritage center into a major regional attraction on the Kauri Coast.
The exhibitions present the stories of Māori people, European pioneers, foresters, sawmillers, gum diggers, and farmers who shaped the northeastern Kaipara region.
The museum welcomes visitors every day from 9:00 to 17:00, with free admission for children during school holidays when accompanied by a paying adult.
The collection includes rare kauri gum specimens, traditional tools, and artifacts recovered from ancient forests dating back 50,000 years.
