Hokitika Museum
The Hokitika Museum is a regional museum located in the heart of Westland and housed in the historic Carnegie Building. What began in 1869, in the new Town Hall, as the “Museum Room” grew into the West Coast’s largest museum and archive.
The Hokitika Museum was closed in September 2016 until further notice.
Westland District Council undertook a Detailed Seismic Assessment on the Carnegie Building on which houses part of Hokitika Museum. The seismic performance of this building has been assessed as 12% of the National Building Standard (NBS) by structural engineers. This means the building is classified as a high risk building and the existing structural performance is unacceptable.
