Rārangi Mihi
Gift of Miles Fahey; Collection of Auckland War Memorial Museum Tāmaki Paenga Hira, 2018.74.1
Kuputuhi e Wātea Tūmatanui ana
This badge was made by Miles Fahey, age 9, through Miles and his brother Joe's badge-making enterprise, "Ballistic Badges". It depicts a "Firebreathing dragon of awesomeness" and was created in protest to the 2018 University of Auckland proposal to close the Elam Fine Arts library and merge the collection with the central library collection.

E hangaia tonutia ana te kohinga tuihono a Tāmaki Paenga Hira; tāpirihia ai ngā whakahoutanga me ngā pūkete i ia wiki. I ētahi wā, kāore anō kia whakaūhia ngā pūkete e ngā kaimahi o Te Whare Taonga, tēnā pea he hapa kei roto i ngā kōrero.
