Mīharo - educational excursions in New Plymouth

Are you looking for accessible, engaging learning experiences designed for diverse learners, or fun educational excursions?

Mīharo offers inspiring, curriculum-connected learning opportunities across Govett-Brewster Art Gallery | Len Lye Centre and Puke Ariki Museum and Library in New Plymouth, Taranaki. Our varied programmes are designed to support a wide range of learning styles, abilities and needs, helping students connect with art, history, creativity, science and culture through hands-on, interactive experiences.

We’re especially excited to share Len Lye: Energies, a major new exhibition that explores movement, light, sound and innovation through the visionary work of Len Lye. Schools can enjoy an early sneak peek from 31 October, ahead of the full exhibition opening on 5 December 2026. This exhibition runs through to 26 April 2027 and provides rich opportunities for cross-curricular learning, sparking curiosity, creativity and critical thinking.

Whether you're planning a class visit, an activity week excursion, or looking for engaging school holiday boredom busters, our friendly Mīharo learning team would love to work with you. We encourage teachers to get in touch to discuss programme options and visit opportunities.
