Of course we should have a museum, and Tauranga MP Simon Bridges' idea of it being in the centre of the CBD is an excellant one. Recently I visited Nelson where their museum is in the middle of town amongst the shops in a fine building, the windows were dressed attractively to encourage passersby to enter and learn about their history.Tauranga has huge potential to draw visitors and residents alike to learn of our past. The idea of it being close to the Art Gallery and the library ticks all the boxes. This could be the answer to attracting more people into the CBD.
