Museum hosts Maori exhibit
T he M useum at W arm
Springs is the final venue for the
first major international touring
exhibition to celebrate M aori
weaving. The exhibition is Toi
M aori — The E ternal Thread
Visits Warm Springs.
In addition to being a visu
ally stunning exhibition, Toi
M aori — The E ternal Thread
demonstrates the spiritual sig
nificance of weaving within the
Maori culture of Aotearoa, New
Zealand.
Maori weavers, as well as a
storyteller and a traditional mu
sician, w ill dem onstrate their
arts at the M useum at Warm
Springs daily from 10 a.m. to 4
p.m. Sunday through Friday,
June 18-23, with an opening on
Saturday, June 17.
The museum was chosen to
be the destination for this inspir
ing, highly desired exhibition
and arts demonstration because
the Maori feel a special kinship
with Native American artists of
the Northwest.
This exceptional exhibition
has traveled to San Francisco,
the Flallie Ford Museum in Sa
lem, and the Burke Museum in
Washington. At the Museum at
Warm Springs, Toi Maori — The
E ternal T hread V isits W arm

the finest traditional and con
tem porary art by both M aori
and Warm Springs master and
emerging artists.

ists. Performances will include
