More than 90,000 regional taonga and artefacts previously kept in Napier are to be relocated to a newly purchased building in Hastings – at a cost of $11.5 million.
Once developed, the Queen St East site in Hastings CBD will provide a fit-for-purpose facility, providing community access, storage and preservation of the treasured collection.
The 90,000-item collection previously housed at the MTG Hawke s Bay is considered one of New Zealand s most prestigious and historic collections of regional and national artefacts.
