Faraday Centre museum

Fuel your imagination as you walk around Hawkes Bay’s largest Hand’s-on Interactive Museum. It’s a fascinating, family-friendly place, a place where children of all ages can have fun while learning. You can immerse yourself in an Aladdin’s Cave of technology, science and history. Explore our large collection of vintage machines, gadgets, or simply take a trip down memory lane while playing in the arcade, or phoning a friend the old fashioned way.

Central Hawke's Bay Museum

Central Hawkes Bay is rich in history, Waipawa being one of the earliest inland towns in New Zealand. Our authentic and visitor-friendly displays showcase an extensive collection of local and national treasures. These include farming, taonga Maori, military and Victorian household displays. Frequently changing exhibitions are vital part of the museum's attraction and a large photographic collection is of much interest to the genealogist.
