Kia ora and welcome to MTG Hawke’s Bay.
MTG Hawke’s Bay is due to open in September 2013. While our doors are still closed to the public we are busy behind the scenes and have begun moving back into the building. Our main focus is the task of relocating the collection back into the building and installing 14 fabulous exhibition and display spaces in anticipation for opening.
| We invite you to visit us in our fantastic new building when we are open. In the meantime please explore our new website which has plenty of new features. Explore some of the collection highlights pages where you can find out about the different collection areas |
