Imaginarium

We are also putting the finishing touches on our exciting new space, the Imaginarium, that will become the centerpiece of the Museum’s AM Learn programme. Imaginarium offers a fun and fascinating introduction to the Museum’s collections by showing how familiar objects and stories can be connected in unfamiliar ways, and is home to our revitalised Learning Labs, and new orientation space, the Learning Base

For educators and school leaders, we can provide fascinating, inspiring and sometimes challenging workshops on Aotearoa New Zealand’s rich and diverse history. Acknowledging the commitment to teaching our history in all schools and kura by 2022, our new interactive workshops for teachers looks at the threads that tie contemporary issues in our society to major events from our past.

We can offer insights, knowledge and teaching inspiration on a variety of areas including:
-The arrival of Māori pioneers and Māori settlement
-Te Tiriti o Waitangi / Treaty of Waitangi and its history
-European colonisation and immigration,including the New Zealand Wars
-Our evolving national identity through the 19th and 20th Centuries
