Web Exhibitions
As part of making the collections and exhibitions of the museum more accessible Museum staff have created small-scale web exhibitions where online visitors can see a small selection of objects from museum exhibitions.
For each object the data stored in the Collection Records will be accessible. Each object has a series of questions that can be explored and responded to from the website or printed and used as part of a visit. The question types are graded and tend to get harder as you move down the list. Individual pages of Collection Data, Images and Question sheets can be printed for use off-site or to help guide student investigation while at the museum on a visit.

Vaka Moana
Imagine exploring a third of the world by canoe. Vaka Moana the untold story of the world's greatest exporation — how the Pacific began to be explored 3-4000 years ago by the world’s first truly maritime people — the ancestors of today’s Pacific peoples. How they developed vessels and a means of navigating — their descendents prefer to call it ‘way-finding’ — based on observations of the sea and the sky.
