From 24 January- 18 April 2022 a trail of 160 unique and stunning whale tail sculptures, designed by artists and children, will animate Tāmaki Makaurau and bring to life themes of protecting and restoring the mauri of te moana.
The New Zealand Maritime Museum is proud to sponsor one of these tails, designed by artist Valerie Auersperg. Come see it for yourself from January 24 in the museum entrance foyer.
The legacy of Whale Tales will continue long after the fun of the trail has ended with the sculptures being auctioned to raise significant funds to power the vital work WWF-New Zealand does to look after our moana (ocean) and her marine life throughout Aotearoa, particularly in and around the Hauraki Gulf.
