Te Awe
Episode 1: He Wawata (An Aspiration)
Te Awe was a project designed to enrich, reorganise, and improve the care of our 10,000+ taonga Māori in a way that is embedded in Mātauranga Māori. Video
Episode 3: Preserving the Kākahu
The first phase of this project (2013-2016), centred on the renewal of the Auckland Museum’s carving store, home to approximately 5,400 carved taonga. Video
Episode 4: Moving the Kākahu
Since the project started in 2013 with Phase 1, over 5,400 taonga made from wood and stone passed through the project team’s caring hands. Video
Episode 2: Taumata Māreikura (The Weavers)
During the second phase (2017-2019), as part of our Mātauranga Māori approach, Auckland Museum partnered with Taumata Māreikura, some of Aotearoa’s most skilled & experienced weavers. Video
