Julien Parsons:
Ina tae mai koe ki RAMM, ki taku whakaaro ka whakaaro pea koe ki te whare taonga katoa, engari, ko te mea pono, he maha ngā wāhanga rerekē kei roto. Ko Julien Parsons ahau. Ko au te Tumuaki o ngā Kohinga i RAMM, ā, he waimarie ahau ki te mahi i RAMM mai i te tau 2004. Nō reira, kua kite ahau i ētahi o ngā huringa ka kitea e tātou i tēnei rā, me te āhua o te hononga.
Neke atu i te 150 tau te pakeke o te Whare Taonga Whakamaharatanga o Royal Albert, ā, i hangaia hei whakamaharatanga mō Piriniha Albert. Nō reira, kei te tū mātou i te tomokanga taketake o te Whare Whakamaharatanga o Albert, te wāhi i ahu mai ai a RAMM.
I whakatūria i te tuatahi hei whare taonga, hei whare pukapuka hoki, hei kāreti, hei kura toi hoki. Nā te nekenga atu o ēnei mahi rerekē i te whare, ka taea e te whare taonga te whakawhānui ake i ana kohinga me ana taiwhanga toi kia rite ki tōna āhua o nāianei.
Ina hikoi koe, ka kite koe i te ranunga o ngā momo kāhua hoahoanga rerekē: ko ētahi e pā ana ki te whare taketake, ko ētahi ki ētahi atu toronga i te rautau 19, me ētahi ki te whanaketanga anō i te rautau 21.
Ka kitea i muri i ahau te pakitara o muri o te whare taonga taketake i oti i te tau 1868. Nō reira, ka kitea tōna iti, ā, he rite tonu ki te tomokanga me te wāhi taiwhanga toi.
Ko te tū i te marae tētahi o ngā wāhi tino pai ki te kite i te huihuinga o te tawhito me te mea hou. Nō reira, i tēnei wā, ki te titiro ake koe, ka kite koe i te pakitara taketake o te tau 1868 e tūtaki ana ki te whakahoutanga hou o te marae. Ā, ko te wairua o te mea tawhito me te mea hou e hono tahi ana, ki taku whakaaro, koinei tētahi o ngā mea tino pai mō te whare.
Nō reira, i hangaia tēnei taiwhanga toi e tū nei tātou i nāianei i te tau 1895, ā, he tuanui ataahua kua whakakikoruatia ki te āhua Gothic. Ko te momo hoahoa taketake i whiriwhiria mō RAMM ko te Gothic Revival, ā, koinei tōna āhua motuhake. Engari i te mea kua tāpirihia e ngā kaihoahoa ngā taiwhanga toi ki te whare, i whakamahia anō hoki e rātou ngā momo Gothic. Nō reira, ina hikoi koe i roto i te taiwhanga toi o ngā Ahurea o te Ao, ki te whai wā koe, titiro ake ki te tuanui whakamiharo, me ngā whakaaturanga whakamiharo hoki.
Ina hikoi koe i RAMM, ka kitea e koe te nuinga o ngā hoahoanga taketake e toe tonu ana, engari he tino onge te kite i ngā whakaaturanga taketake. Nō reira, ko te mea kei muri i a mātou, ko te taiwhanga Sladen, he tauira whakamiharo o tētahi taiwhanga kāore i rerekē mai i tōna whakaurunga i mua i te Pakanga Tuatahi o te Ao. Kei roto he kohinga nā Percy Sladen o ngā whetu ika me ngā mea hanga e pā ana. Ko tētahi o ngā kohinga pai rawa atu i te UK, ā, kei te whakaatuhia tonutia i roto i ōna pouaka taketake. He taonga tino ataahua.
Nō reira, kei te tū mātou i te taiwhanga o ngā Ao Tawhito me ngā taonga tawhito i ia taha o mātou. Engari he tokomaha te hunga i toro atu ki RAMM i mua, i te rautau 20, ka mōhio ki tēnei ko te taiwhanga tirotiro a Gerald nā te mea i reira a Gerald i mua, e totoro ana tōna kaki, ā, ka taea e koe te titiro kanohi ki te kanohi.
Koinei te kāinga hou o Gerald, ā, kei konei ia mai i te mutunga o te tau 2011. Ko te huarahi anake i taea ai e mātou te neke i a Gerald mai i tōna wāhi o mua ki te wāhi hou ko te mā roto i te tuanui o te taiwhanga toi i roto i te pouaka. Nō reira, he wā tino nui, he wā whakahirahira hoki tēnā mō te whare taonga, i mua tata tonu i te whakatuwheratanga anō.
He whetu rongonui a Gerald i RAMM mai i tōna taenga mai i te tau 1919. Ā, i te taenga mai o te kohinga o ngā kararehe whakangote nunui, he raruraru nui tō rātou nā te mea kāore i nui te wāhi mō rātou katoa. Nō reira, i hangaia he wāhi noho rangitahi ki muri o RAMM, e mōhiotia ana ko te Peel Hut, i muri i te ingoa o te kaikohi, ā, e 50 tau te roa o taua mahi.
Ā, e whakaatu ana tēnei i te meka i whakawhānui tonu te whare taonga i ana kohinga, i piki haere tonu, ā, i pau noa te wāhi. Ā, i a koe e hikoi haere ana i RAMM, ka kite koe i te huarahi i whakarerekētia ai, i whakamahia ai hoki te wāhi i roto i ngā whakatipuranga kia rite ki te nui o ngā kohinga, te taonga me te whai rawa o ngā kohinga.
Nō reira, kei te tū mātou i te Tomokanga Māra, koinei te wā hou o ngā huringa ki te whare taonga. Ko tēnei tetahi wāhanga o te whanaketanga anō i whakatuwheratia i te tau 2011. Nō reira, i te mutunga o te rautau 20, kua kitea ngā tohu o te tawhito o te whare taonga, ā, nō reira ka tīmata tētahi kaupapa nui ki te whakahou, ki te tāpiri atu, engari kia kore ai e ngaro te wairua o te wā Wikitōria me te hoahoanga o te wā Wikitōria. Nō reira, ko te mea i tupu he whakairo, he whakakotahitanga, o te mea tawhito me te mea hou, ā, ki taku whakaaro ka kitea pai rawa atu tēnā i roto i te tomokanga hou.
Hei wāhanga o te whanaketanga hou, ehara i te mea ko te whakahou noa i ngā wāhi tawhito. Engari ko te waihanga i ngā wāhi hou anō hoki, nā te mea ko tētahi o ngā mea matua i hiahiatia e mātou ko te whakarato ki te iwi i ngā whakaaturanga hurihuri me ngā ihirangi hou. Nō reira, ko te hanganga o tēnei wāhi, te Taiwhanga Whakaaturanga 20 hou, te mea nui ki te whanaketanga anō hei huarahi mō te iwi ki te haere mai ki RAMM me te whakangahau tonu me te pārekareka ki ngā ihirangi hou.
E kite ana koe, he kōrero uaua tēnei, ā, he ranunga o ngā momo kāhua rerekē. Engari koinei taku e pai ai mōna. Koinei tētahi o ngā mea tino ataahua o RAMM. Ka taea e koe te kite i tēnei kōrero mō te whare i a ia e whanake ana, ā, e tino mōhio ana ahau ka whanake tonu i roto i ngā tau 150 e whai ake nei.
