The exhibition was really well put together, was the right amount of information and provided authentic insights into all aspects of the Meads’ life. A genuine insight into a different but relatively recent time in Aotearoa New Zealand sporting history. Well worth a visit.

3 friends and I decided to visit Te Kuiti from Wellington. We made a trip of it spending 2 days in this small King Country town. A highlight of our trip was visiting the Meads Museum. We were greeted by 2 lovely and very proud women who talked us through the exhibition. For four rugby heads this display was an absolute highlight. It is off the beaten track but well worth the visit
