We are creating activities that encourage tamariki to think deeper about special taonga in their kāinga! Keep your eyes peeled for our fun activities, which will be released weekly.

Our first activity is all about exploring what taonga connects them to their kāinga! Download here.

In April the National Council of Women of New Zealand (NCWNZ) celebrated their 124th birthday. We at Wellington Museum were going to celebrate this momentous occasion with NCWNZ Wellington Branch. Sadly, lockdown meant that this couldn’t happen in person, so we’ve had to get creative to mark the occasion. Introducing Herstorical Moments. A series of five short films where 25 women from diverse communities in Wellington tell us what women’s suffrage means to them in today’s world. Watch them here.
