Te Awe was a project designed to enrich, reorganise, and improve the care of our 10,000+ taonga Māori in a way that is embedded in Mātauranga Māori. Video

During the second phase (2017-2019), as part of our Mātauranga Māori approach, Auckland Museum partnered with Taumata Māreikura, some of Aotearoa’s most skilled & experienced weavers. Video

The first phase of this project (2013-2016), centred on the renewal of the Auckland Museum’s carving store, home to approximately 5,400 carved taonga. Video

Since the project started in 2013 with Phase 1, over 5,400 taonga made from wood and stone passed through the project team’s caring hands. Video

The Te Awe Team is made up of Curators, Collection Technicians, Conservators, Storage Technicians and a dedicated photographer who care for the incredible variety of taonga Māori housed in the Museum.
