Nga Taonga Tuku Iho - Treasures from the Past
Nga Taonga Tuku Iho is the first exhibition gallery at DOC Aniwaniwa Visitor Centre, Lake Waikaremoana.
The gallery houses and displays many of the taonga or treasures of Waikaremoana hapu. Built in 1976, it was designed by architect John Scott to give visitors the feeling of being inside a traditional Maori wharenui (meeting house). It is an ideal place to safeguard the cultural history of the Urewera Maori.
The 'Urewera Mural', a commissioned work by Colin McCahon, is in the gallery.
