- Thames School of Mines and Mineralogical MuseumThe Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga Thames School of Mines was one of the hubs of the country’s gold industry. The schools original classrooms, laboratories and assay rooms are frozen in time. Walk in the steps of those being taught advanced mining techniques, geology and management to maximise their returns. Working with explosives, dangerous gases, cyanide and massive machinery all in the pursuit of gold, it was a career fraught with dangers and the harsh reality of an early death. Visit the exceptional mineralogical collection housed in a ‘museum within a museum’ and view a world class collection that showcases stunning minerals and rocks from New Zealand and around the world. Our tours, with no fixed schedules mean you can simply walk in, and embark on an adventure through Thames incredible gold history.
