A four-month-long exhibition of Maori culture will be held at the Shanghai Museum. It showcases around 300 objects from New Zealand's Otago Museum in Dunedin on the country's South Island.

 

The museum, with one of the most significant collections of Moa (the giant ratites that once inhabited New Zealand) eggs, contains more than 2 million relics and items of natural history.

 

The exhibition is one of the year's biggest at the Shanghai Museum and is expected to attract many visitors. The Otago Museum in New Zealand receives around 400,000 visitors a year, though the city's population is only 100,000.
