Synopsis

Te Papa is guardian for a vast collection of taonga Maori, precious cultural treasures of the indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand. Here are ancient treasures from our many iwi (tribes). These rare hei tiki, significant carved buildings and figures, and richly feathered cloaks illustrate traditional Maori life. Alongside these are pieces by contemporary Maori artists that show a powerful spiritual and genealogical engagement with the past. Each piece is photographed in full color and accompanied by a lively, informative description.
