Pinks, purples and orangey glows in the sky, a stage lit up with a sign saying Puanga, star Rigel is a sign for the iwi Rangitāne of the Māori New Year. A fabulous family friendly event this evening

A big museum wall at Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand is lit up at night for Puanga celebration. This is the new year star and celebration for some iwi (Māori tribes). The wall light art shows a blue text Puanga on a red background, and a beautiful lady in blue, a stylised representation of Puanga, the star in the Orion constellation, known as Rigel by Europeans.
