Think 'Scots in New Zealand', and your thoughts will probably turn to tartan, bagpipes, and 'Auld Lang Syne'. But look beyond these and you'll find a Scottish presence everywhere in New Zealand life.
This exhibition tells the stories of the Scots in New Zealand through a selection of intriguing objects, images, and short films. The stories range from farmers, architects, and engineers, to charismatic church leaders, a Scottish lad who became prime minister, and feisty women who fought for the vote. Contemporary stories feature curlers, artists, musicians, bricklayers, and teachers.
