Tairāwhiti Museum
One of the very best, most innovative regional museums in New Zealand
WHERE FIRST LIGHT MEETS FIRST PEOPLES
Tairāwhiti is the original landing place for navigators, artists, and storytellers.
Where first light touches land, stories rise. Tairāwhiti is where great navigators arrived, where dual heritage began, and where creativity continues to thrive. From the intricate tukutuku panels of our wharenui to the rhythm of kapa haka, art and history are alive here. Sail in the wake of the ancestors, walk through centuries of storytelling, and feel the culture that shapes the East Coast spirit.
