It's a real treasure trove and well worth stopping for. Woody is a wonderfully friendly man and his dog (Twig) is super friendly.

I have included a couple of pictures with this post that are indicative of the artwork inside the gallery, but by now way does it show the extent of the beauty within.

Woody is really keen on getting local artists and artisans together to have an art evening, so if you are interested in being part of such an evening - pop in and check it out.

Make sure to bring your friends and relatives, it really is worth stopping by.

A precious moa skeleton at Taupo Museum is set to be restored after a huge local fundraising effort.

Museum displays officer Jon Primmer said the Friends of the Museum coordinated the drive to restore the skeleton, which was found in a cave in Waikaremoana in 1969.

The moa was one of only a few complete skeletons left in existence and had at least five different kinds of glue holding the bones together, many of which had discoloured, he said. It had also been assembled incorrectly and its legs needed to be inverted.
