Ground Floor

The ground level tells the story of Pacific People; Māori, Pakeha, the peoples of Oceania and other newcomers. These spaces examine the diversity of Pacific Island communities and the astonishing beauty of the objects they have produced. Please note, Te Marae Ātea Māori Court and our Pacific galleries are closed until further notice while works are being carried out. All other galleries remain open.
