Aotea Utanganui Museum of South Taranaki is a purpose-built museum that embodies the spirit and energy of the South Taranaki region.
Home to significant collections including the earliest dated wooden artefacts found in New Zealand, the Waitore Artefacts (c.1400s); The Hāwera Star Newspaper Archive (1880–2018); the Ellmore-Timms Photography Collection; and artworks by prominent Māori artist Oriwa Tahupotiki Haddon (1898–1958).

We achieve this kaupapa through: Collaboration, Creativity, Innovation & Flexibility.
