Pūeru Ora/Past, Present, Pose offers a fresh take on the region’s rich clothing history. This stunning exhibition showcases a curated selection of nine standout garments from the Museum’s much-loved Outfit of the Month series, which began in March 2021. Each garment has been carefully chosen to highlight significant moments in fashion and social history – from the colonial 19th century to the bold and eclectic 1990s. Each outfit tells a story – not just of fashion trends, but of migration, identity, celebration, and everyday life.
