Tā'ere Mā’ohi i Aotearoa - Mā’ohi Culture in New Zealand

The Mā’ohi Nui (French Polynesian) community of Tāmaki Makaurau presents Tā’ere Mā’ohi i Aotearoa / Mā’ohi culture in New Zealand.

Discover the beautiful landscapes and fascinating history of Mā’ohi Nui (Tahiti and neighbouring archipelagos) in Te Taunga Community Hub’s latest exhibit at Auckland Museum. The entirely community-curated gallery tells the story of Tā’ere Mā’ohi i Aotearoa – Mā’ohi culture in New Zealand.

Everything you will see and experience in the gallery has been chosen by the community to tell their own story, from the treasures on display, to the labels, the signage and even the lighting.

Tā’ere Mā’ohi i Aotearoa is an invitation to experience the rich heritage and culture of its people through images, projections, and traditional objects.

On select days, the community will be leading their own activations for the public.
