Aotearoa (New Zealand) was one of the last land masses to be discovered by humans. People first arrived there by boat 1,000 years ago and they soon found that they had access to an abundance of resources from three sacred worlds: the land, the sea and the sky.

This display takes a look at a small collection of Māori objects and specimens from the museum’s ethnography and natural history collections and explores how the Māori used these resources in daily life, battle and ceremony.
