As part of Tuku 2026, we are opening the doors to the museum’s Isel Park Research Facility for a special Open Day.
This is your last chance to see inside the building before the collection moves to the new ARC facility in Richmond.
Join our Collections Team for guided tours through selected collection stores and hear the stories behind some of the remarkable taonga in our care.
Discover how collections are stored, cared for and researched, and get a behind-the-scenes look at work that usually happens out of public view.
📅 Wednesday 22 April
⏰ 11am to 3pm
📍 Isel Park Research Facility
Free entry
Tours run every hour and half hour.
No bookings required.
Come along and explore behind the scenes of the museum’s collections.
