Fresh Finds presents a selection of recent acquisitions that reflect Te Whare Taonga o Waikato Museum and Gallery’s contemporary collecting focus.
The objects refer to highs and lows of recent years which have impacted Kirikiriroa Hamilton and the world.
Adverse events such as the Covid-19 pandemic and the passing of Queen Elizabeth II are remembered alongside the anticipated FIFA Women’s World Cup and the freshest Maaori art.
The collecting of present-day objects acknowledges the importance of regional conversations and events. They often reflect wider dialogues about social, cultural and political topics from across the motu and around the globe.
Recording the present builds our future history.
Developed and produced by Te Whare Taonga o Waikato Museum and Gallery
