Excavated in 2014, these South American giants have been described by Sir David Attenborough as “one of the most extraordinary finds in the history of palaeontology.” exhibitions art museumsandgalleries te-papa Sat, 01 Jul 2023 00:00:00 GMT https://www.tepapa.govt.nz/about/press-and-media/press-releases/2023-media-releases/dinosaurs-patagonia-star-te-papa-summer Te Papa 2023-07-01T00:00:00Z https://www.tepapa.govt.nz/about/press-and-media/press-releases/2023-media-releases/crustacean-celebrities-aotearoa-new-zealand Crabs, shrimps, lobsters, barnacles, slaters and other crustaceans are the stars of a new mini exhibition presented by NIWA and Te Papa. Opening 22 May, Mawhiti Tino Rawe | Clever Crustaceans is a playful exploration of the bizarre and diverse world of five marine crustaceans. They can change their shape, circle the globe, and maybe even cure cancer – crustaceans are the unsung heroes of the sea. NIWA scientists Rachael Peart and Kareen Schnabel worked with Te Papa experts to deliver this mini exhibition that showcases the importance and special capabilities of the ‘insects of the sea’. exhibitions art museumsandgalleries te-papa Thu, 18 May 2023 00:00:00 GMT https://www.tepapa.govt.nz/about/press-and-media/press-releases/2023-media-releases/crustacean-celebrities-aotearoa-new-zealand Te Papa 2023-05-18T00:00:00Z https://www.tepapa.govt.nz/about/press-and-media/press-releases/2023-media-releases/te-papa-celebrates-25-years-new-strategy On Tuesday 14 February, Te Papa celebrates 25 years since opening with a new Rautaki | Strategy to take it forward into the future.
