  • The Te Awamutu Museum launched Te Ara Wai Journeys 2019, as a way to engage visitors outside of the Museum but still connected to local history and landscapes within the Waipa District. The interpretive place based storytelling website won an international GLAMI award 2020.
  • Tama's Dinosaur Trail! Bring the kids in and enjoy a free activity of finding our dinosaurs through out the Museum Curioseum. Great fun and learning about our favourite and most asked for dinos.
