Discover the stories behind public sculptures in Te Ngākau Civic Square, and on the City to Sea Bridge. Listen to the pūrākau of Ngake and Whātaitai, and go on a reo Māori treasure hunt to find āhua (shapes) and tohu (symbols). An optional gallery workshop extends the trail to include either a sculpture or design workshop for older age groups. Younger learners arrange geometric shapes to explore symbolism and composition.  

This experience is ideal for learning more about Te Whanganui-ā-Tara and making curricular connections among visual arts, Te Ao Tangata, and reo Māori.   

This learning experience begins and concludes at Te Papa Tongarewa.
