Southland Museum Closes Due to Earthquake Costs

11/4/2018

The Southland Times reports that it will cost $20 million for the Southland Museum building to come up to earthquake code, so it has been decided to close its doors. It is expected that it will find temporary exhibition space and storage facilities. It will look to retain 13 of the 41 staff members, and the tuatara will stay in the building.  The taniko inspired triangular roof was built in 1990 over existing older buildings. ​The Southland Times article is here. 

In November 2016 the Rotorua Bath House Museum was closed after suffering earthquake damage to its 100 year old building. Article by Stuff here.  It is likely to be closed for at least two years.
