Description:
We visit the Museum of Technology and Transport in Auckland, NZ. It’s part historical museum, part historical village, part science centre, part technology showcase. We were last here for the Penguin Dinner event - a “formal” conference dinner event run as part of linux.conf.au in 2015.
MOTAT consists of two sites named MOTAT 1 and MOTAT 2. MOTAT 1 contains most of the scientific exhibits and collection, MOTAT 2 consists of a huge hall full of aircraft. You can catch an authentic vintage tram between them, which also stops at Auckland Zoo in the middle.
Highlights include much old fashioned electromechanical telephone exchange equipment (all fully working, and with rotary phones provided for you to operate it), a collection of interesting vehicles, a collection of interactive science exhibits, a live blacksmith’s shop and a collection of historic trams - one of them even from Melbourne.
