  This was s great discovery and specially in a day when nearly everything else was closed. Fantastic history and exhibits. The whale jaw is huge!

  This is a smallish maritime museum size wise, but it has managed to cram in quite a collection of exhibits. Car Parking is free and entry is only $3 for adults. The lady at the counter was super friendly (as is everyone in Southland) and the exhibits were very wide ranging. It even covered a NZ soldier executed by the British (by firing squad) who was later pardoned (posthumously). There are torpedoes, missiles, a huge merchant steam engine, etc. Worth a visit if you are down in Bluff.

  Great museum and for $3 you can’t go wrong! They talk about a variety of things in clear and concise ways!

  Great little museum I learnt a ton of stuff about Bluff harbour. Well kept and updated and a very reasonable entry fee. Well worth the visit. I would say allow for 1:30 to go through and absorb the displays. The tug boat steam engine is really special.

  Neat little spot for 3 dollars. Had many more exhibits than I expected, and a boat outside to explore.
