Trial a Museum Tour... your opportunity!
4th March, 2pm & 14th March, 2pm
Free
An exciting innovation managed by staff member Catherine Williams will be trialled on March 4th and 14th and we need some Friends to participate as "guinea pigs"! This trial is intended to be the forerunner of a regular paid tour opportunity for residents and visitors to learn more about our permanent collection and the Museum's connection to the Waikato River. Friends will join in at no cost for the purpose of experience and feedback (and a cup of coffee/tea!)
Please email Catherine (Catherine.Williams@hcc.govt.nz) by Friday 27th February to RSVP.
