We take a deep dive into the processes taken to explore and share the Museum’s collection of cloaks and precious taonga.
An Aspiration: Te Awe is about enriching, reorganising, and improving the care of our 10,000+ taonga Māori in a way that is embedded in Mātauranga Māori.
Gathered from across Aotearoa, the Taumata Māreikura are a group of expert weavers, that assembled to share their knowledge and in turn learn from the incredible cloaks in the Museum’s coll
Some of the items in the Museum’s collection are in an incredibly fragile state and run the risk of disintegrating entirely. We take a look at the vital decisions being made.
Part of Te Awe’s mission is to improve the storage of these taonga in order to ensure that they are preserved for future generations. Discover the incredible lengths the Museum team go to.
