Okains Bay Museum’s Bold Future Plans | Christchurch News

Okains Bay Museum is set for a major transformation with bold new plans to build a state-of-the-art whare taonga and upgrade its entire complex, tackling critical issues like climate control for its 20,000+ Māori and colonial artifacts. Designed to honor its heritage while embracing the future, the project includes preserving the colonial hall, adding a modern long house, and creating community spaces—plus even after-hours toilets. With approval from Christchurch City Council pending, the museum now turns to the public for support as it seeks funding for this vital legacy project, all while other regional museums grapple with their own massive challenges and budget overruns.
