Tairawhiti Museum
The museum is situated on Stout Street by the river at the city end. There’s a lot to learn about Gisborne/Tairawhiti/Turanganui a Kiwa. There’s usually a limited themed exhibition running. The coffee shop is highly recommended and you can find out about local customs and culture within the walls of this local jewel. A great place to while away an hour or so.
