Story World -  Threads from the Museum Collection with Natasha McKinney

Have you ever wondered what’s hidden in museum collection?
Step behind the scenes and into the heart of the museum, where every object holds a story – of time, place and people. Pictorial Curator Natasha McKinney will invite you to explore the diverse visual languages artists have used to depict Taranaki. Sense the tension of war time in the watercolours of a military captain, the tranquillity of the forest in depictions of local flora, and the austerity and joy captured in early photography. Whether you're a history buff, a curious creative, or simply love a good story, this tour will open your eyes to the wonders of Puke Ariki’s collections.
Please note: Collection store tours are not available to those aged under 16 years, or to pregnant women, due to cultural reasons.
Bookings are required. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/story-worlds-threads-from-the-museum-collection-natasha-mckinney-tickets-1507815529839?msockid=38a21d4dcaae698f177008fecbb06812 $5
