What travelers say:

The museum of the tree of the shells is the largest and oldest in the world. The wood has grown over hundreds of millions of years. The boats built with this wood, exquisite handmade furniture and various handicrafts such as root carvings. Each piece of wood is beautiful and exquisite. Also more amazing is the amber from the shell shirt trees. It is said that this is the world's largest stock and largest amber exhibition. There are amber original stone, amber bust statues and rare amber pulled into the hair of people. The logging history of New Zealand is also displayed here, showing visitors how 138 years ago people cut down and transported huge trees that are hundreds of millions of years old. Because many of the items here come from a very wealthy person donated, the museum is relying on the rich person donated the house to expand. The house retains all the scenes of the owner's house at the time. There are life scenes including replicas of the person. So visitors can see the lifestyle and culture of the British aristocratic family at the time. Yes, the rich are from the UK. Personally feel very meaningful museum.
