Mōkau Museum - Taranaki Heritage Month 2026

History lives in landscapes, in whānau stories, in everyday objects and practices. When museums reach beyond their walls — through storytelling, events, partnerships, and shared projects — they help reconnect people with that living history.

This talk will reflect on how museums and community organisations can work together to:

• Activate history as a living, shared resource

• Create opportunities for intergenerational learning

• Strengthen local identity and sense of place

• Support communities to tell their own stories, in their own voice.

Free, koha appreciated.

Location: Mōkau Museum & Gallery, 33 North Street, Mōkau 4376, New Zealand.
