Toki: The edge of tradition
March - July 30th, 2026. Free Entry

Discover one of the most unique cultural experiences in the Bay of Plenty at Western Bay Museum in Katikati. Toki: The Edge of Tradition invites visitors on a journey through traditional Māori knowledge, exploring the history, artistry, and cultural significance of toki — one of the most important tools in pre-colonial Māori life. Through rare taonga, striking imagery, interactive displays, and stories shared through a Māori world view, the exhibition offers an immersive experience for locals and tourists alike.

Located in the heart of Katikati, Western Bay Museum is a must-visit destination for anyone looking for things to do in the Western Bay of Plenty. Visitors can explore how toki shaped carving, waka building, ceremony, and everyday life while learning about the enduring strength of Māori traditions through generations of change. With free entry and interactive experiences for all ages, Toki: The Edge of Tradition is an inspiring cultural stop while travelling through the region.
