Thank you to everyone who attended our “Information Evening on Death and Dying – what do we do with grief?” event.

It was a very special evening, with one participant saying it was a gentle, calm, and very human night. And an extra massive thank you to our panel participants.

Friedensreich Hundertwasser believed that rain deepened the colours of the world, making them appear richer, more vibrant, and renewed. As we transition into the cooler months, we embrace this philosophy with a selection of practical and artistic pieces from our MuseumShop.

Come and view these for yourself in the MuseumShop, open daily from 10am - 4pm. No museum ticket is required to visit, and we offer shipping across New Zealand and Australia via our online store.
