From Morse to Messaging
Crack the code at Te Awamutu Museum's new exhibition From Morse To Messaging: post and telegraph history in Waipa.
29 June - 17 September 2010
Tangata Whenua Gallery
The Tangata Whenua Gallery features a range of taonga Maori, including the figure of Uenuku - one of the most treasured taonga of the Tainui people.
Uenuku is said to be one of the traditional gods or spirits of the Maori people, and manifests as a rainbow.
New Zealand Wars
The New Zealand Wars were fought for control of the North Island, between combined government forces representing the British crown and Maori resistors. The root causes of the conflict were issues around power and land.
True Colours
Perhaps Te Awamutu’s main claim to fame within New Zealand, and even internationally, is that Tim and Neil Finn were both born here. Te Awamutu Museum’s True Colours exhibition is a fitting tribute to the immense success of its two most famous sons, and enjoys a steady stream of visitors from around the globe.
True Colours features a wealth of material relating to Split Enz and Crowded House, but also offers a unique insight into the lives of Tim and Neil Finn with the inclusion of rare family memorabilia.
