The Polish Heritage Trust of New Zealand was established in the late 1990′s by Mr. John Roy-Wojciechowski , former Honary Consul to the Republic of Poland in New Zealand, to offer educational resources to the people of New Zealand about the country of his birth, Poland, its history, culture, arts and to share the stories of New Zealand’s and Poland relationship regarding the invitation to NZ of the ‘Children of Pahiatua’.
The museum opened its doors in July 2004. This year, 2014 marks our 10th Birthday.
