There’s something new to see, hear, or do in Toi Art on the last Saturday of each month. Join us for free talks, performances, and hands-on activities that respond to the artworks and exhibitions.
This month: Learn some simple whai (string games), see and feel some muka (flax fibre) – the fibre traditionally used for whai, and learn how to plait a four-strand cord – inspired by Maureen Lander: Aho Huna, Aho Whai | Threads of Connection.

🎟️ Entry to Te Papa is free for all New Zealanders and people living in Aotearoa New Zealand.
📅 Don’t miss out on our other whānau-friendly events! Stay in the loop at tepapa.nz/newsletter
