Labelling himself a tāngata moemoeā (a professional dreamer), Tommy Kapai Wilson (Ngāti Ranginui/Pirirakau) believes passionately in humour as a learning tool for children. One of a family of 11, Wilson will recall a career that saw him leave home at 16 to travel the world for 25 years. At different times in his life he has worked in sales and marketing, as a private butler to the rich and famous, and a writer of children’s books. For Wilson, ‘humour and history are the two most powerful weapons on the planet’.

Admission to this event is included with entry to the museum.

Adults: $12.50
Children (5-18 yrs): $5.50
Small family (1 adult and up to 3 children): $17.00
Large family (2 adults and up to 3 children): $29.00
