Te Uaka will host a range of long-term and changing exhibitions designed to engage a wide audience from children and families through to international visitors and specialist researchers.
We also plan to offer a dedicated research space providing access to collections, information and curatorial expertise. We will offer public talks and workshops, as well as education programmes that align with school curricula.
- While we are designing and building Te Uaka, you can access our collections online.
And there are any number of other repositories which may be able to help with Lyttelton information.
If there is an event or programme you'd like to see running at Te Uaka, please get in touch to let us know. We're always keen for more great ideas to add to the list!
