This is an old photo, i took it back it 2006, but I love it!

This is now a museum, but it used to be the Bath House of Rotorua. Here is more about it history:

The Bath House opened in 1908 as the Great South Seas Spa, drawing people from around the world to 'take the cure' in waters drawn from nearby springs. In its heyday, around seventy thousand baths were given annually, as well as thirty thousand special treatments including massage, mud baths and electrical therapy.

Administered until 1947 by the Department of Tourist and Health Resorts, the building proved to be a maintenance nightmare. Popularity of spa treatments waned until in 1963 the Rotorua City Council took over control of the Bath House. In 1966 all treatments were transferred to nearby Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

The Rotorua Museum opened in the South Wing in 1969 and the Rotorua Art Gallery in the North wing in 1977. In 1989 the museum and Art Gallery combined to become the Rotorua Museum of Art and History. Today the museum is visited over 100 000 people per annum.

I have just added more contrast and saturation, framed .. et voila! ;)

Thanks for looking!
