Museum of Waitangi

Te Kōngahu Museum of Waitangi holds a stunning collection of stories and taonga (treasured objects) that bring to life the history of Waitangi, Aotearoa New Zealand’s most important historic site.

The history of Waitangi is brought to life through world class exhibitions using interactive technology to offer a museum experience like no other. Learn about the history of Waitangi and its significance to both Māori and non-Māori people.

We read how the Treaty of Waitangi became the founding document of New Zealand and viewed the taonga on display and discovered their significance to the story of Aotearoa New Zealand.

It was a very interesting museum and we also watched a video re enactment of the signing of the treaty.Read more
