It is hoped a change in name will "refresh" a Rotorua museum and lead to more people discovering what it has to offer.
Te Amorangi Museum is changing its name to the Rotorua Settlers and Steam Museum. It will hold a special fun day on Sunday to launch the new name.
Secretary Dianne Estcourt said the museum would still fall under the Te Amorangi Trust but they hoped the name change would better reflect what the facility was about and help raise public awareness.
She said in the 46 years since the Te Amorangi Trust Board was formed, the museum on Robinson Ave had intrigued thousands of people with an insight into the lives of early settlers in Rotorua.
They hoped the new name would better describe what was on offer, she said.
