What is a museum?

What is the purpose of a museum?

• Store / share information
• Present models
• Share history - our past in NZ, ancient past
• How things have changed over time
• Fun
• Learn
• Protect, secure and preserve treasures

Good points about museums...

• Living history interactive
• Real life animals outside & native plants, garden
• Options of food or a place to eat lunch
• Things to touch and investigate - like rocks
• Using good technology
• NZ museums are free

Museums are boring because......

• Too much to see in one visit
• Not much variety in displays
• Too far to walk - sore legs
• Parents won;t let you investigate
• Too much to read and parents take too long
•
