Hello everyone ,
I hope you’re all safe and healthy.

I thought in these times of isolation and uncertainty with work and what not , we could use this time to get into some creative spaces within ourselves to produce some awesome projects as a collective .

If anyone has some ideas for creative challenges for us all to participate in then please don’t be shy (eg. 7 day drawing challenge, poetry, writing , dance, photography etc.) .
It can be as broad or as specific as you like .
Something you think would work well for everyone to take part in and have abit of fun with . ☺️

Let’s get creative and take this time to get into something new or get back into those things we wish we had more time to do. (Unintentional rhyme 😛)

Stay safe and if you’re feeling abit down or lonely and want a good ol yarn then please feel free to reach out to me , it can be hard to keep your head above water during these times and that’s totally understandable.

Mayor Phil Goff today announced the temporary closure of libraries and a number of cultural institutions across the city.

The Museum’s Chief Executive Dr David Gaimster said “Auckland Museum is aligned with the Auckland Councils efforts to limit the transmission of the COVID -19 coronavirus. We will close our doors today at 5pm and will review our position regularly as new information from Health Officials comes to hand.”

“This was not an easy decision,” says Gaimster. “Auckland Museum has a role in the community to provide a sense of trust and continuity in times of uncertainty. However for the health and wellbeing for our visitors, our people and communities it has been necessary to make this difficult decision.”

The Museum will continue to operate behind the scenes undertaking the full range of its non-public facing activities such as caring for collections and taonga, research, digital and online initiatives, preparation of exhibitions and development of public programmes, planning and conservation.

Dr. Gaimster says while the Museum building is closed, it can still be visited online.

“Stay in touch with us at aucklandmuseum.com and we’ll keep you informed. Connect with us on our social media channels where we will bring you inspiring stories of our Museum, its collections and people,” he says.

“We don’t know yet when we will be able to re-open our doors, but we look forward to welcoming visitors back when we can,” says Dr. Gaimster.
