Introducing ‘Kohi Pōneke -We Collect Wellington,’ an online series showcasing new taonga and objects collected by Wellington Museum.
We will be sharing with you treasures from our collection store and highlighting objects on display in Te Whanganui-a-Tara that celebrate the people and the events that have shaped the character and soul of Pōneke and the region.
Throughout NZ Music Month, we had local musicians performing in iconic Wellington spaces each Thursday night. Check out their performances here.

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