In a former life, Rebecca Cox worked as a teacher before joining the Mercury Bay Museum as an administrator. It didn’t take long for her to realise she wanted to do more within the museum sector.
In 2019 she completed the NZ Certificate in Museums Practice to build on her hands-on experience, and she hasn’t looked back since.

Very interesting Museum, was great to learn about the rich history of the area. It’s well set out and well presented. Recommend visiting when in Whitianga
Really awesome little museum. I was pleasantly surprised with the array of different things on display. They also had a treasure hunt for the children which was really cool and my son won a small prize! Definitely worth a look through on a rainy day
We’ll set out and interesting museum. Lovely staff and the gift shop has something for everyone. New exhibitions to keep me coming back.
