Free to local residents (I think it's a gold coin for out of towners?). Nelson Provincial Museum currently has a great exhibition about World War One, that is tracking the developments of 1915 a hundred years on. Well worth a visit.

    Get a bit of culture here! The Nelson region’s provincial museum always has something interesting on. Soon to be a holding an evolving exhibition on the Great War of 1914-18, called World War 100, it will be the centre of Nelson’s war commemoration activities.

      This is the oldest museum in New Zealand so well worth a visit. The programme of exhibitions brings local and international history and events to our doorstep. Currently showing - The Canterbury Quakes and Starting with Plants - an interactive exhibition featuring species found at the Brook Waimarama Sanctuary.

        Nelson Provincial Museum is a great local museum - the quality and variety of the exhibitions is excellent and they have plenty of stuff for families and young children. At the moment there is the Canterbury Quakes exhibition also Starting with Plants - a natural history exhibition which includes live specimens in the roof garden (kind of like a mini-Kew Gardens. Well almost). The exhibition features models of flowers which can be taken apart and re-assembled so your children learn about how plants are put together and how they work. An excellent wet holiday option.
