With a flick of a switch one of Rotorua's most iconic buildings shone brightly against the dark sky - in all the colours of the rainbow.
The long anticipated outdoor colour LED lighting upgrade of the Rotorua Museum has been completed, thanks to funding from the Rotorua Museum Centennial Trust, enabling a vast array of lighting effects on the building at the flick of a switch.
The official "flicking of the switch" was performed by Rotorua MP Todd McClay tonight.
"I think it's a great occasion. It [the museum] was New Zealand's first investment in tourism ever. It's a beautiful building and it deserves to be in the limelight.
"I think it is magnificent that we can now say it is complete," he said.
