방문했을때 박물관에는 들어갈 수 없었지만 건물이 너무 예쁘고 멋있어서 사진만 찍고 돌아왔습니다. 로토루아에 방문한다면 한번 방문해 보는것도 나쁘지 않다고 생각해요^^ more »

When I visited the Museum couldn't get the buildings were so pretty and meosisseoseo returned to take pictures. If you visit Rotorua visit once I'm think too bad ^ ^

是一棟很漂亮的英式建築，原本是羅托魯瓦的一間溫泉療養所，後來變成歷史博物館，卻因為地震關閉，我們只在附近散步逛逛，風景也很漂亮。 more »

Really enjoyed our visit. Very interesting displays about the cultural and geological history of the area. And a great art exhibition on Rembrandt while we were there. The building itself has a really interesting history as a public bath house using the local geothermal mud and water. Old parts of the building are in display. And a great view from the roof. :)

I really like this museum. Inside an enormous historical mansion which used to have hot baths inside that you can see. Cool exhibits

Rotorua Museum has a fascinating history. The museum is actually quite eerie as it houses the remnants of an elite class and an odd brand of pseudo-science where patients would go to "take the cure." As for the more modern parts, there is an excellent cafe, gift shop, and educational area for children. While there we were entertained by a beautiful opera singer as well.
