Home by Morning

Update: Waikato Museum will be closed to the public from Sunday, 22 March in step with our city's efforts to limit the transmission of COVID-19. We look forward to welcoming you back when we reopen our doors.

While our building may be closed, we'll stay in contact with you and share the inspiring stories of our Museum, its collections and people through our social media channels.

We often travel by night. Kiwis are, after-all, nocturnal birds.

In Home by Morning Waikato Museum Te Whare Taonga o Waikato showcases art from the collection that features nocturnal sojourns: a night spent on a beach, at a friend’s house, the drive through the heartland that takes you home, and the endless hills that silently change with the dawn.

Home by Morning draws heavily on works collected by Barry Hopkins (b. 1942 d. 2017).
