| Go behind the scenes at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa and discover more than 100 treasured items from the Museum's collection. 100 Amazing Tales from Aotearoa gives readers a special look at some of the most precious, exceptional, historic and and downright bizarre objects that Te Papa holds in trust for the nation. Learn the secrets of one of the first dinosaur fossils ever discovered, see new spider species, be inspired by famous paintings and quirky jewellery, encounter fearsome weapons from the Pacific, and uncover deep and personal stories of Māori taonga. The book is based on the popular TV mini-documentaries Tales from Te Papa, and includes a DVD set of the complete series. |
