Kupe Sites - Landmarks
of a Great Voyager
1 March – 1 May
A thousand years ago the great Polynesian
voyager Kupe made an epic journey across the
Pacific Ocean to a new land. Many traces remain
of Kupe's encounter with this place. They can be
found in the names of landmarks in various parts
of the country.
In this exhibition you can explore some of
these Kupe sites - in Northland, the Wairarapa,
Wellington and Marlborough.
A touring exhibition from the Museum of New
Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, will be hosted in
the Edmiston Gallery of Maritime Art at Voyager.
