Papakura Museum Blog

Our Motto

Ka mau tonu nga taonga tapu o nga matua tupuna

Hold fast to the treasures of our ancestors.

Not all stories can be told in a Museum. Museums often have limited space, and therefore are limited to telling only a few stories in great depth. While visiting a Museum is good, a Museum’s blog can be a great way to explore the stories of an area in greater depth.

Papakura Museum tells The Story of Papakura, from before people arrived in the area through to WWII.

Papakura Museum Blog explores more than what’s on the walls of the Museum. Stories that you may have never heard of can be brought to life through excellent writing and relevant images.

If you have ever wanted to delve deep into Papakura’s past, come and visit Papakura Museum and read the blog.
