Massive Multi-Scale Dioramas | Inside Tawhiti Museum with Founder

Join us for an exclusive interview with Nigel Ogle, founder of Tawhiti Museum, as he shares the story behind one of New Zealand's most unique private museums, and discover how he's used his model making experience to bring South Taranaki's history to life. Located just outside Hāwera, Tawhiti Museum began in 1975 when Ogle and his wife transformed a former dairy factory into a vibrant historical space. What started as a personal passion project grew into a comprehensive showcase of South Taranaki’s heritage, featuring life-sized models and scale dioramas that bring the region's past to life. Ogle, a former art teacher, combines his artistic skills with a deep passion for history to create immersive exhibits. Each display is meticulously crafted, from the 800 miniature figures in the intertribal musket war diorama to the life-sized models cast from local volunteers. His attention to detail and storytelling prowess have made Tawhiti Museum a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and families alike The museum's exhibits cover a wide range of topics, including the early interactions between Māori and European settlers, the region's agricultural history, and the life of local author Ronald Hugh Morrieson. Each exhibit is designed to engage visitors of all ages, with a focus on storytelling that resonates with both children and adults. In this interview, Ogle discusses the challenges and rewards of running a private museum, the importance of community involvement, and his vision for the future of Tawhiti Museum.
