Elvis Presley Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet street in Hāwera, the Elvis Presley Museum is a wonderfully unexpected shrine to the King, feeling more like a passionate fan's private collection than a formal institution. You're immediately struck by the sheer density of memorabilia; every inch of wall and display case seems to pulse with the energy of Elvis's career. It’s an intimate, almost overwhelming dive into fandom that transcends its small-town New Zealand location. This isn't just a museum—it's a heartfelt tribute.
Collection Highlights
You'll find everything from iconic jumpsuits and gold records to more personal items like his razors and a stunning collection of vintage concert posters. The centerpiece for many is the life-sized replica of the '68 Comeback Special stage, letting you stand right where he made his triumphant return.
Visitor Information
It's best to check their social media for current opening hours before you make the trip. The owner is often around and his personal stories about the artifacts are as much a part of the experience as the objects themselves.
Architecture & Building
Housed in an unassuming, classic New Zealand commercial building with a simple brick facade that makes the treasure trove inside all the more surprising.
