Bring hands-on learning to your classroom: handle museum objects, discover their stories, and create your own "Museum in a Box". 

In-class programme

$7.50 per student

Museum in a box is a 40 - 60 minute in-class programme with one of our museum educators. Students will handle objects from the museum, discover the stories they carry, and create their own “Museum in a Box” with taonga that are meaningful to them.

Through interactive activities and storytelling, tamariki will:

  • Learn about the role of museums in preserving and sharing our history.

  • Explore the connections between the past, present, and future.

  • Discover how taonga help us understand who we are.

This programme builds on a successful trial in schools and is part of our commitments to making our education programmes more accessible.
