Permanent Exhibition
The journey begins with the three iwi that make up the Museum's Taumata-ā-Iwi: Ngāti Whātua, Ngāti Paoa and Waikato-Tainui. They are represented by three illuminated manu (birds) by artist Mike Crawford. Each iwi curated its own display with a selection of taonga in response to the question "Ko wai tātou? Who are we?"
Learn about the people, history and culture through the narratives showcase throughout the Tāmaki Herenga Waka Gallery.
