Located in the heart of Taupo, only minutes from New Zealand's largest lake and the outlet of the Waikato River, Lake Taupo Museum and Art Gallery offers visitors the opportunity to experience a unique blend of old and new. Taupo Museum is a blend of heritage and culture; from yesterday's historic treasures to today's contemporary art.

Taupo Museum & Art Gallery is now the permanent home of 'Ora - Garden of Wellbeing' - the beautiful gold medal award-winning New Zealand garden (Chelsea Flower show, 2004).

Situated in a park in the large park next door to the Rose Garden. It's an easy stroll from Taupo's shopping and café district and offers all day free parking. Learn, experience, enjoy. Lake Taupo Museum and Art Gallery is about life, education, fun and experiencing history as a dynamic part of our lives today.
