    Collecting Egypt

    In this episode, we look at how the Museum got its Egypt collection and focus on a fascinating story of an Egyptian woman with a long-term case of mistaken identity. We learn about the three main ways that museums like ours acquired Egyptian taonga: through purchases, subscriptions and donations, and what it was like for New Zealand’s soldiers to be stationed in Egypt during both World Wars.

    A Night at the Orange

    This episode of the Amp takes listeners for a night out at the Orange Ballroom on Newton Road, a vibrant, iconic venue where people would meet, dance and fall in love.

We also dive into one of the incredible stories from our Tāmaki Herenga Waka Stories of Auckland gallery and get to know Bill Sevesi and one of his band mates, rhythm guitar player, Buddy Wilson – now in his 80s!

  5. Soldier, Curator, Monuments Man

    Soldier, Curator, Monuments Man

    This episode of The Amp podcast explores the life and work of Sir Gilbert Archey, who ran Tāmaki Paenga Hira Auckland War Memorial Museum from 1924 to 1964. This year marks 100 years since Gilbert took up the helm at Tāmaki Paenga Hira Auckland War Memorial Museum, so we thought it was fitting to launch our new podcast with an episode about him.  It delves into his role as a Monuments Man during World War 2, tasked with protecting cultural and historical artefacts. The episode also highlights the importance of preserving art and cultural heritage during times of war, as well as Gilbert's contributions to Māori research and his role in the development of Auckland Museum.
