Today I visited the War museum of Auckland. I will only show few pictures from the inside because naturally, it looks way better in real life.
It is situated on the south-eastern side of the city centee (Google maps). From down the hill, we cannot see it because it is surrounded by trees. Even if the monument is on top of a hill, we almost see it at the last minute. Maybe I was too concentrated cycling up hill and I didn’t notice it earlier.
The carving is impressive!
This is outside a Whare Whakahiro.

Tāhuhu: Figures carved on the porch section of a whare whakairo ridgepole usually represent ancestors at the beginning of the chief’s main line of descent.

I guess that’s a fishing basket.
This pattern is so delicate!
The famous Kiwi. This time we talk about the bird, not the nickname of the New zealanders. This bird hatches an egg that is 2/e the size of its own body!
They love patterns.
Maori art is for sure very refined.

Pourquoi on les surnomme les Kiwis les néo zélandais ?????
Car le kiwi c’est l’oiseau qui vie là, uniquement en NZ et il était pratiquement en voie de disparaître.
