Te Whanganui-a-Tara - Wellington Museum’s new ground floor exhibition
Celebrating what is quintessentially Wellington, the exhibition has been developed in collaboration with mana whenua and Wellington-based artists, creatives and scientists.
Playful, poignant and full of surprises, the exhibition tells Wellington stories inspired by its natural and cultural landscape. Make discoveries about Wellington’s people, art and environment through, toi and taonga from our collection and tamariki activities.
Explore significant Wellington events with the large-scale timeline beginning at Te Orokohanga (creation). From the explorations of the Polynesian navigator Kupe and the Haowhenua earthquake circa 1460 AD, right through to the memorable Absolutely Positively Wellington campaign which started back in 1991, and the Covid-19 pandemic our city is still navigating today.
