Tatau Pounamu: unpacking the tākoha of Waitangi
Extended to 2021
This exhibition is based on Waitangi’s long, and often unseen, collecting history. Curated by one of our very own passionate staff members Ella Weehuizen, it is inspired by Lord Bledisloe’s speech at the first Waitangi celebration here at the Treaty Grounds. Come and Visit.
