Hamilton Gardens Fantasy Collection
Omaka Heritage Aviation
Museum, Blenheim
If you are an aviation buff, the Omaka Heritage Museum is a "must see" on a trip to New Zealand. There are two exihibits in the Aviation Museum, The first, "Knights of the Sky" features World War I planes, many donated by Sir Peter Jackson of Lord of the Rings fame. The second exhibit is a collection of World War II aircraft, sourced and maintained by the museum's trust. Both exibits feature the warplanes in situ, linking a particular craft to a particular wartime event. For example there is a diorama capturing the moment the Red Baron was downed. These historical tales make the museum that much more interesting.
