About this activity

Māori Cultural Experience: Living Taonga

Taonga is the Māori word meaning treasure, or something prized. Māori culture is a living taonga of Aotearoa New Zealand.

At Auckland Museum, immerse yourself in Māori culture with a powerful performance led by esteemed indigenous artists and orators. Experience the beauty of traditional waiata (songs), the skill of poi, and the enduring spirit of the Māori people through storytelling and dance.

Discover the origins and meaning of the world-famous haka, a commanding ritual that showcases strength, unity, and identity.

Your ticket also includes general admission to Auckland Museum, where you can explore world-class exhibits on natural history, New Zealand heritage, and treasured taonga (cultural treasures).

This authentic cultural experience is perfect for travelers seeking a genuine introduction to Māori traditions and history.
