Carried Away: Bags Unpacked
THU 13 JUN 2019 - SUN 1 DEC 2019
Bags Unpacked showcases over 150 individual bags from Auckland Museum's collection, many on display for the first time.
Every bag has a history, a story to tell – from haute couture fashion to cultural traditions. Bags can convey social standing, practical needs or be a statement of art.
From curious creations such as an albatross foot purse and bear gut bag with fur trim, to taonga imbued with Māori and Pacific cultural values such as kete and bilum, the exhibition explores the stories associated with their creation and the people who used them.
This exhibition is truly global, with over thirty countries represented.
By the way, our new Bachmann Orthodontics cotton tote bags will arrive soon. A small contribution to keep the world plastic-free.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
