See some of New Zealand’s most striking, historical and contemporary artworks from the national collection here in Hamilton. Waikato Museum has partnered with the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa in a recent initiative; Unpacked: Treasures from Te Papa, where selected masterpieces are loaned to display for three months.
Te Papa’s aim is to create opportunity for its treasures to be seen by more people in more places.
Waikato Museum and Whangarei Art Museum are participating in this project which launched at the Whangarei Art Museum in December 2013.
Michael Smither's Toys' Tea Party, 1969, is the latest work to go on display.
