Seaweek - Kaupapa Moana

Nau mai haere mai ki te Tiaki Taonga o Whanganui. Join Whanganui Regional Museum to celebrate Seaweek (29 February-8 March 2020).

Admire the enormous sunfish, gaze at the awesome whale skeletons, investigate sea life, make a sea-creature mask and have fun discovering all kinds of sea-themed treasures with a Seaweek Museum Explorer. The Museum is presenting a week of sea-themed activities for kids along with a special lunchtime talk for the general public.

Seaweek – Kaupapa Moana is New Zealand’s annual national week celebrating the sea.
