2 In a Nutshell In een Notedop 2 No Longer Invisible... Ons Museum will tell the inspirational success story of the Dutch in New Zealand: from Abel Tasman s first contact with the Maori, to today s achievements in farming, sports, business, the arts and more. We ll also set up cultural exchanges between Nederland and New Zealand, to improve the bonds between two nations and two peoples. We re building Ons Centrum in Foxton, next to iconic Dutch windmill De Molen. We re working in partnership with Tangata Whenua, Horowhenua District Council and others. A raft of activities will be brought together under one roof, in the multimillion dollar tourist attraction Te Awahou Nieuwe Stroom.
