The grand reopening of the Hokitika Museum took place yesterday.
Alongside the reopening, and taking the town's history out of the museum and into the streets, is the Legendary Coasters App. This is an immersive storytelling tool, mixing fact with fiction, that lets users explore Hokitika's colourful history through significant characters from the past.
Susie speaks with App project manager Zane Smith, Hokitika Museum Director Laureen Sadlier, and Westland District Council's Community Services Manager Marcus Waters.
