Muka Youth Prints
11 & 12 February only
Muka Youth Prints started in 1986 when Magda Van Gils, working at Muka lithographic studio in Auckland, invited well-known artists to produce original lithographs exclusively for children and young people, and make them available at pocket money prices. During the exhibition names of the artists are kept covered and only young people aged 5 to 18 years can see the exhibition and buy works. Entry is included with Museum admission.

Who Am I?

Take a close look at portraits from The Dowse collection. Featuring hands-on activities, children and their families will see how portraiture can convey the personality of its subjects. The exhibition includes renowned New Zealand artists Rita Angus, Frances Hodgkins and Toss Woollaston. Entry is included with Museum admission.
