Part of the national Tuia 250 commemorations, Voyage to Aotearoa: Tupaia and the Endeavour was an interactive family exhibition that introduced visitors to Captain
James Cook’s first voyage to Aotearoa, with a focus on the Tahitian Endeavour voyager, Tupaia.
Interactives brought Tupaia’s paintings to life with movement and song, allowed visitors to navigate their va’a in the Society Islands and watch the Endeavour’s route unfold around Aotearoa.
Visitors could experience the mess hall of the Endeavour, see how sailors ate and slept on the ship and even jump in a hammock and try on clothes of the time.
Educational and environmental elements looked at the first onshore meetings between Māori and British, Tupaia’s relationships with Māori, and his role as cultural broker.
Accompanying the exhibition was an illustrated children’s book, The Adventures of Tupaia, written by Courtney Sina Meredith and illustrated by Mat Tait who contributed to the major exhibition graphic elements.
