Cook Islands Museum

The Cook Islands museum is attached to the Library and you pay here first to enter. Opening hours same as the library.



Its not particularly big or organized. Just a large room filled with various bits and pieces. The exhibition includes a variety of items - types of sealife, mainly shellfish found here, the old treaty documents, European pictures, and accounts of the islanders. It's all a hodge podge really, but the museum also displays several large pieces of sculpture by local artists and some of these are rather lovely.



The museum does give you a bit of insight into the Cook Islands and at $2 doesn't exactly break the bank. I would recommend a visit, probably on a rain day though.



NB visitors can join the library for $25 ($15 deposit).
