The Buried Village

The Buried Village is New Zealand's 1886 eruption, excavation, history and gallery museum.

The Village is situated near Mount Tarawera and Lake Tarawera, within easy reach of the thermal and cultural city centre of Rotorua.

Volcanic devastation at Rotorua's Buried Village is revealed through site excavations and displays. A number of small dwellings remains undisturbed beneath the heavy mud and ash.
