The New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute opened in 1963 in Rotorua, New Zealand due to the impending threat of the loss of traditional Māori arts.
Sharing Our Taonga
Te Puia spans 70 hectares within the historic Te Whakarewarewa Geothermal Valley, on the edge of Rotorua. We are home to the world famous Pōhutu geyser, mud pools, hot springs and silica formations. You will also find the native Kiwi bird and the national schools of wood carving, weaving, stone and bone carving. We have shared these taonga (treasures) with manuhiri (visitors) for over 170 years and proudly continue that tradition today.
