Nelson Provincial Museum
The Nelson Provincial Museum (Puke Ariki's counterpart for the Nelson region — officially known as the Nelson Provincial Museum, Isel Park) covers the region's Māori and colonial history along with natural history and photography collections, notably a large early photographic archive of the Nelson region. It's a modest, solidly regional museum rather than a major draw in itself.
It makes a good add-on to a walk through central Nelson, generally taking an hour or so.
