Taonga are treasures — not for beauty, rarity, or material worth alone, but for the life force they embody. They hold memory, lineage and spirit, weaving connections across time and place. Taonga are gifts carried through generations, imbued with story and soul — owned, yet held in trust; ever unfolding.

In our new Queenstown space, Taonga follows the inaugural exhibition Treasures, deepening the conversation about what we value and why. The works presented are contemporary taonga: living expressions of belonging, reverence, and the profound connection between art, culture, and whenua.

In this next chapter for Milford Galleries, we continue to celebrate the richness of New Zealand art and honour the voices that will carry its stories forward.

Presented in partnership with Te Kano Estate.
