Mōkau Museum was formed by the Tainui Historical Society more than two decades ago to record and preserve the rich history of northern Taranaki.

The museum has since amassed a remarkable collection of items, spanning the natural history of  the land, both Māori and Pākehā settlement, and the area’s industries, including a once-bustling coal sector. The purpose-built museum is the ideal starting point for those interested in the history of the region, and houses important archival records, photographs and family histories. The museum has public internet facilities.
