Whether you remember sewing at home, learned to stitch at school, or enjoy local history, this display offers a thoughtful look at making, memory, and collection care. Plan your visit today.

Rūaumoko: Restless Land

Exhibition on now until Monday, January 26, 2026. Rūaumoko: Restless Land is our new and exciting interactive touring exhibition from Te Papa. Experience elements from Te Papa’s Te Taiao Nature zone that combines cutting-edge science with mātauranga Māori (traditional knowledge) to explore the powerful, natural forces that continuously shape Aotearoa. Te Papa and the Natural Hazards Commission Toka Tū Ake have teamed up to promote natural hazard awareness and preparedness through this exhibition. It introduces Rūaumoko to illustrate the forces of nature and presents a wero (challenge) for visitors to learn about natural hazards and ways to be prepared in our communities and at home.

Ūkaipō: Decolonising the Documentary Lens

Developed through collaboration and wānanga involving Tom Roa, photographic artist Rodrigo Hill and mana whenua, Ūkaipō considers how documentary practice can move beyond colonial ways of seeing towards approaches grounded in Indigenous authority, mātauranga Māori and relationships with place. The exhibition invites visitors to think differently about the documentary lens: who stands behind the camera, whose perspective is centred, and how the stories of people and place are represented. Through photography, film projections and sound, Ūkaipō creates a space to encounter whenua not simply as landscape, but as a place of whakapapa, memory, knowledge and belonging. Opening to the public: 27 November 2026 Showing until: May 2027
