Bulls, Marton, Hunterville, Mangaweka and Taihape Museums opened their doors last weekend to celebrate the Rangitikei district's heritage.
Bulls Museum is open every day, and had just installed its latest exhibition, the story of knitting Knit One Purl One, in time for the heritage opening.
Museum secretary Helen Cooper said organisers had "yarn bombed" the town to highlight the exhibition which will run until September.
They had just taken down the Chris Amon exhibition, and when she spoke to the former Formula One driver, he had said he had received a lot of feedback from people overseas who had seen it when they passed through his home town.
"We also received a letter from Sir Jackie Stewart about the exhibition."
