We re delighted to confirm that MTG Hawke s Bay will reopen on Saturday, July 24.
We have really missed having the community in and around the museum and can t wait to welcome you back!
Of course, we ll have activities and entertainment to mark the occasion and make it a special weekend. While we won t be open for the whole of the school holidays, we will at least be open for the last weekend so we hope our families will enjoy a taste of the museum again before returning to school.

Like everyone, we re hoping 2021 will be a better year all round. It has certainly got off to an interesting start for us with the building closed for urgent remedial work on the sprinkler system. Not quite the start to the year we had hoped for.
Nonetheless, we still have an interesting mix of exhibitions planned for the year.
