Shop

The museum shop, He Taonga Iti (small treasures), is the place to find wonderful New Zealand gifts. Some of these like our handmade tiles are crafted right here in Taupo.

We specialise in designer jewellery, books, cards, music and works of art. We also have some souvenirs that you will find nowhere else - check out our own Ora Garden tea towel which celebrates this lovely Garden of National Significance.
