The arrival of firearms to New Zealand and the Pacific had a major impact on many aspects of traditional Maori life; however the tradition of carving continued but took a new form. This exhibition is a chance to show and explore the tradition of carving weapons in Maori and Pacific Society, and its continuance past the introduction of European technology into the 19th century.
