He toi tupu, he toi ora, he toi i ahu mai i Hawaiki.

Tomokia ki te whare o Toi. Ko te whare nei i parua iho ki te muka rāwhiti, ki te neko, ki te kaitaka, ki te pakipaki – hei mātakitaki mō te ao whānui e.

Ko ētahi o ngā taonga Māori he raranga, he whakairo, he uku, he matihiko, he whakaahua hoki. I ia tau ka neke atu i te 80 ngā taonga ka tukuna mai e ngā ākonga puta noa i Aotearoa.

Featuring a range of Māori art forms including raranga, whakairo, uku, mahi-matahiko, and mahi-whakaahua. Each year over 80 artworks are submitted from ākonga around Aotearoa.

Ringa toi is presented by NZQA.

Te Marae o Te Papa Tongarewa: Rongomaraeroa

Rongomaraeroa is a unique marae (meeting place) within Aotearoa New Zealand. Like all marae, it is founded on Māori principles of kawa (marae protocol) and tikanga (cultural practices) it was created for our unique museum context as a contemporary marae acknowledging the whakapapa (ancestral history) and the taonga (treasures) of all peoples who call Aotearoa New Zealand home.
