Join us for one of our Pauku (war cloak) and Pacific Language Weeks community drop-in sessions, hosted by the Te Aho Mutunga Kore team. These sessions are a chance for community groups and practitioners to engage with special taonga.
Te Aho Mutunga Kore is our fibre knowledge exchange centre launching in 2023 with the generous support of Manatū Taonga Ministry for Culture and Heritage.
Te Aho Mutunga Kore will ensure sustained engagement with textile and fibre collections held by the Museum, to strengthen the ties (aho) between community and their material culture heritage, creating a safe pathway for taonga tuku iho (knowledge transmission).
For each of the Pacific Language Weeks, we host community drop-ins. A chance for community groups and practitioners to engage with a selection of taonga from our Museum collections. Sessions are limited to groups of 10 and bookings are essential. See the days and times for each language week on our Pacific Language Weeks page.
A rare 18th-century Pauku has arrived at Auckland Museum on a five-year research and exhibition loan.
Experience the Pauku up close through our monthly drop-in sessions. A chance for community groups and practitioners to engage with this special taonga. Sessions are limited to groups of 10 and bookings are essential.
