About this Event

Bring your whānau and join us for Culture Baby—a fun, drop-in museum activity designed for tamariki aged 0–5. Through play, littles ones become storytellers – exploring culture through movement, sound, and imagination. No bookings needed, just bring your curiosity and join us in helping your tamariki become the creators!


ABOUT THE STORY WORLDS FESTIVAL

Story Worlds is a new festival that invites audiences to experience storytelling as a rich, interconnected practice—through the written word, material culture, and oral traditions. Explore the programme, which stretches across Puke Ariki Museum, Libraries, and the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery | Len Lye Centre for four days of sessions that celebrate storytelling in all its forms and honour the ways stories help us make sense of ourselves, each other, and the world we share.

At Puke Ariki accessibility is very important to us. We want everyone in the community to be able to enjoy our museum and libraries. A lift goes from the St Aubyn Street car park to the museum entrance. There are three lifts inside Puke Ariki that will get you to all parts of the building.


This event will be held in the Puke Ariki Foyer.
