Memories, connections, childhood dreams. This exhibition Taonga Talking has an eclectic and intriguing selection of objects from the Museum’s collection on display, each one individually picked by our kaimahi [staff members].
From a 1980s boom box to an 1890s stereoscope, each taonga has been selected from the Museum’s vast collection due to its power to spark a special memory.
Some honour relatives and people that have inspired them, others think of home and childhood dreams. Some remember places of significance, or reflect on the past to encourage a better future.
Enjoy visiting Taonga Talking and getting to know us and the Museum's collection better.
