Photobooth
Portraiture has played a significant role in the museum's history and to many special days. Capture your own image and frame your visit with a snap from Toitū’s photobooth.

Scrapbooking
The museum boasts a vast collection of archival material, with one of its most treasured highlights being our wedding imagery.
In this self-guided scrapbooking session, unleash your creativity and craft your own vintage wedding-inspired spread. Whether you're a seasoned scrapper eager to share your expertise or a complete novice looking to try your hand at this art form, everyone is welcome!
We'll provide all the materials you need to decorate your own pictures or you can even snap one in our photobooth.
Victorian Love Tokens
Also known as origami puzzle purses, Victorian Love Tokens date back as early as the 1700s and were cherished symbols of affection in both Europe and America. These intricately folded paper purses unfold to reveal a secret message. All materials will be provided for you to have a go at crafting your own vintage-inspired Victorian Love Token.

Toitū looks forward to welcoming you to International Museum Day!
