BACK PORCH GALLERY

The Back Porch Gallery has transitioned into our Education & Research Centre. We have the opportunity to widen the scope of this space including a local environmental theme providing insights into local, national and international environmental themes. To find out what we currently have on show check out our Facebook or call in to the Museum at 55 Rickit Road, Te Awamutu. This space is always changing with new, vibrant and meaningful displays, so it’s always good to check up on what’s happening on the Back Porch!
