He whetū i te rangi, he whetū ki te whenua
A star in the sky, a star on the earth

Taku Rau Tīkumu explores the enduring relationship between people and alpine landscapes through the story of tīkumu, a resilient mountain plant bound to generations of knowledge, skill, and care. Featuring a significant collection of tīkumu taonga, the exhibition weaves together mātauranga Māori, science, oral histories, photographs, and rare records from across Aotearoa.

Supported by He Aka Ka Toro under the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE), and Creative New Zealand.

Price: Free for Nelson Tasman residents.
