We are busy creating two exciting spaces that will become the centerpiece of the Museum’s AM Learn programme. Learning Base offers a fun and fascinating introduction to the Museum’s collections by showing how familiar objects and stories can be connected in unfamiliar ways. Featuring objects from every part of the collection, Learning Base will help learners observe and understand the world around them through connections and introduce mātauranga Māori and scientific concepts. 
‍
The second of our upcoming spaces is the revitalised Learning Labs, dedicated spaces for our unique, hands-on experience designed to Inspire Curiosity and collaborative learning for all ages. Combining best-practice teaching and learning with creative light and sound effects, including full-scale wall projections with special access to the Museum’s extensive handling collection and taonga, it promises to be a truly immersive learning environment.

Educators and school leaders, please join us on a fascinating, inspiring and sometimes challenging journey through Aotearoa New Zealand’s rich and diverse history. Acknowledging the commitment to teaching our history in all schools and kura by 2022, this new workshop series looks at the threads that tie contemporary issues in our society to major events from our past.

We will share insights, knowledge and teaching inspiration on:
-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
