Ngā Kohinga Taonga

Ka tu tēnei whare taonga a Western Bay Museum ki Katikati e whakātu nei i ngā hītori whakahirahira o tēnei rohe.

Mai i te tau 2020, i whakapau kaha mātou ki te pupuri ki ngā kōrero o mua me te whakatairanga i ngā paki kōrero ā-rohe, kia tūhono hōhonu ai te hunga manuhiri ki ngā hua o tēnei hapori.

I raro i te ārahitanga o ngā whare taonga a motu, i whakahoungia e mātou ngā whakaaturanga, me ngā kōrero hitori e hāngai ki a Aotearoa whānui. Kia whanake te hua o ngā whakaaturanga mo te hunga manuhiri.

Haere mai ki te kite i ngā huapai o tēnei whare taonga.
