Puuraakau at the Museum

The educator-led time will take tamariki on a tour of the museum galleries and share some of the wonderful stories that inspire the exhibitions or objects.

Students will hear about the Tongue of the Dog, the story of Te Winika and explore different art forms, all the while engaging in activities and discussion to develop their understanding of storytelling and cultural narratives.
