The Kauri Museum is in the west coast village of Matakohe, Northland, New Zealand. The museum, to the south of the Waipoua Forest, contains many exhibits that tell the story of the pioneering days when early European settlers in the area extracted kauri timber and kauri gum.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Kauri Museum )〕 The museum has over 4000 sq metres of undercover exhibits, including the largest collection of kauri gum in the world, and the largest collection of kauri furniture. It has a model of a 1900s kauri house with furniture and models in the dress of the early years, and an extensive collection of photographs and pioneering memorabilia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Kauri Museum Matakohe )〕 On the wall, there are full-scale circumference outlines of the huge trees, including one of 8 metres, larger even than Tane Mahuta. The museum includes a working mock-up of a steam sawmill. It tells its story from the colonial viewpoint, and presents its representation of the kauri gum industry as part of the process of creating the New Zealand identity. It has little to say about negative aspects, such as the impact on the Māori people. The Kauri Museum has however helped raise awareness of the need to conserve the remaining forest through a display of photographs by the conservationist Stephen King, presented in partnership with the Waipoua Forest Trust.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Other displays at the Kauri Museum )〕 Kauri gum unpolished side.jpg|Kauri gum Kauri Museum Model house.jpg|Gumdigger's hut made from trunks and plaited leaves of the Nikau Flickr - brewbooks - Nihau hut (1).jpg|Inside the hut or whare View from Kauri museum.jpg|The museum's well dug over surrounding fields Kauri Museum wood mill.jpg|A real sawmill Kauri Museum 1936 picture.jpg|1936 picture of bush whim Flickr - brewbooks - Kauri museum (9).jpg|The real bush whim Kauri Museum Entrance.JPG|Kauri Museum entrance ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kauri Museum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
