I am back from the local museum. Photos were not allowed.
It was terrifying. This whole area of colonised NZ was founded by a psychopathic cult leader who made his own rules and basically governed like a psychopath. Looking at the photos, after 3 generations the population starts to share too many facial characteristics. And I learnt a new definition of frolic. ( it means having to smile while you work )
Other than that there were some beautiful artifacts that settlers brought over. Tools an personal items. Very lovely. It made me question what I would bring to a new world.
