About this Event
Please join our curators for an intimate guided tour of the Waiwaia ngā ngutu (Speak Eloquently) exhibition. Waiwaia ngā ngutu celebrates the eloquence and expression of te reo Māori. This exhibition showcases taonga from Auckland Libraries Heritage Collections, including hand-written manuscripts recording whakapapa and kōrero tupuna, early publications of Māori grammar books and Bibles, Māori students’ copybooks as they learned their language in written form, and contemporary translations of works into te reo Māori. The curators will bring the exhibition to life for you as they take you through the exhibition and explain the meaning and context of the taonga.
Tours occur every second Wednesday from 12 to 1 pm.
Spaces are limited, so booking is required.
