Te Hokioi: The Power of the Printed Word
A special exhibition celebrating Te Wiki o te Reo Māori 2026 and Koroneihana 2026.
Discover the remarkable story of the Te Hokioi printing press, a taonga that became the voice of the Kīngitanga during a pivotal period in Aotearoa's history. Through three exhibition panels, visitors will explore the international journey that brought the press to Aotearoa, its role in promoting kotahitanga through Te Hokioi e Rere Atu Nā, and its lasting legacy in Māori publishing, journalism, and storytelling.
Supporting archival material, including King Tāwhiao's 1863 address, King Te Rata's handwritten address, and copies of Te Pihoihoi Mokemoke, provide further context to this important story.
Exclusive exhibition merchandise available on Te Hokioi, including postcards, notebooks, and tote bags.
