The building is well underway with the grand opening just months away on the 18th November.

This was the second visit that our staff and students had been invited to and a lot had changed since the first tour in April.  

Te Awahou Nieuwe Stroom will be the home to:

• Piriharakeke Generation Inspiration Centre, a Maori Museum and Gallery representing stories of Ngati Raukawa ki te Tonga. It will encompass a high quality gallery that will be the pataka of Ngati Raukawa taonga and this will be supported by Te Taitoa Maori o Te Awahou Trust
• Oranjehof, New Zealand’s National Dutch Museum that will inform, educate and inspire New Zealand about its Dutch connections. This is being developed and supported by the Dutch Connection Trust
• Foxton Community Hub is the living room for the Foxton community. The Community Hub will house:
  • The Foxton library
  • The Foxton Visitor Service Centre
