08 March 2011 - MOTAT star of the White Night

For one magical evening 50 Auckland venues will stay open until midnight and feature special exhibitions, activities and performances as part of the Auckland Arts Festival ‘White Night' event.

To celebrate, head to MOTAT this ‘White Night' and experience a myriad of fun activities as darkness falls.

From 6pm until midnight MOTAT invites you to step back in time and experience the museum's treasures after dark.

Fun activities on offer for White Night include the ‘I Am The Last Tram' exhibition where MOTAT transports you back to the 1950's, the ‘90˚ South' exhibition where you can learn about Sir Edmund Hillary's brave Antarctic expedition and the ‘Signposts to Godzone' exhibition that celebrates Kiwi icons and culture.

The Victorian village will also be lit with fairy lights and alive with action as MOTAT's lollymaker, blacksmith and volunteers from the MOTAT printing section are out in full force to teach, entertain and enlighten all White Night visitors.

So get along to MOTAT this White Night and experience all of MOTAT's delights after dark.
