Opening on Friday 13 May, Stranger than Fiction promises to get you exercising your imagination like never before! Stranger than Fiction features the weird, wacky, and unusual items from our museum collections but asks you, the visitor, to tell us all what these oddities are by writing your own museum labels. You're encouraged to speculate about what the specimens might be, consider where the curiosities came from, or ponder how these peculiar things were used. There's only one rule: the stranger the better!
We're offering a fun, interactive education programme for Year 1-8 pupils to complement Stranger than Fiction, with fantastic feedback received so far from teachers and parents. Please contact us if you'd like to book your class or visit the Puke Ariki website for more information about the Stranger than Fiction programme.
Check out photos of the exhibition and creative labels here.

Fantastic exhibition Puke Ariki! So cool to see some of the things you have been 'keeping safe' out on display. I especially loved the 'Giants Clothes Pegs" and your collection of 'Grannies Best Hats'. Great to see you blog up and running Education Team, I'll make sure I pop in often to see what you guys are up too and whats coming up. Keep up the great work!!
Thanks for the great feedback, MrHNZ. Spread the word!
