National Treasures

A collection of war medals reveals the devastating impact of nuclear testing. A young rugby fan shares a special Rugby World Cup medal, and we discover the story of Te Rā, a unique Māori woven sail.

Mining artefacts stand as a stark reminder of the mass tragedies in our mining history. We dive deep into the Rainbow Warrior, and an incredible dress tells the story of a trailblazing politician.

A wheelbarrow tells a tale of hope in the wake of the Christchurch earthquake. Scotty explores the birthplace of adventure tourism, and we take a look at an ejaculation helmet made for a rare parrot.

Jock takes a look at a whistle with links to our most iconic rugby moments. We head back to the 80's and reminisce on bopping, and a handwritten flier offers a personal look at the legendary Billy T.
