Toitū’s special exhibition gallery is currently closed. We continue to offer a series of changing exhibitions in our Material Culture gallery, often with a costume and textile focus as these objects are fragile and susceptible to light damage. We also regularly update our permanent exhibits with new objects and stories.
Some of our more popular temporary exhibitions are highlighted below.
