Stairwell Display
Nau mai, haere mai ki te taoka ipuraki o Te Whare Taoka o Otago
The stairwell display features some rarely seen objects from the Museum's southern Māori taoka collection, collated during the Taoka Digitisation Project.
The Museum is the custodian of one of the largest collections of southern Māori taoka (treasures) in the world. This display provides the opportunity to exhibit some of these remarkable objects, as well as to encourage people to explore the collection further, through the online portal.
The Taoka Digitisation Project was made possible with the support of Otago Museum's Māori Advisory Committee and the Lottery World War One Commemorations Environment and Heritage Committee Fund.
