Considering recent government announcements, it is with regret that MOTAT is postponing the MOTASTIC Mates event scheduled for this Saturday 21 March until later in the year.

Many guests were expected to attend this event which prompted us to take a precautionary approach in support of measures to contain COVID-19, especially for those in our community who are most vulnerable. The safety and well-being of our visitors, staff, volunteers and the community remains our top priority.

Apologies for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding. We look forward to inviting all our Mates to the rescheduled MOTASTIC event later in the year.

Please note that MOTAT currently remains open seven days a week as we actively monitor the situation and follow the New Zealand Ministry of Health’s expert advice. We are managing the risks to ensure the Museum remains a safe and welcoming space for everyone.
