Description

Five months after the discovery of asbestos closed Auckland Museum, its finally reopened the doors to the majority its main attractions - including the cherished volcano house. Remediation work to get rid of the asbestos could exceed $10 million, while a 10 percent decline in visitor numbers left the museum with no choice but to disestablish 31 roles. But as Louise Ternouth reports, it's hoped today's re-opening will help bring the museum back to life.
