@StephenClarkeNZ @ArchivesNZ @Snugbucket @edinburghcastle Just walking past on my lunch break!

@ArchivesNZ @Snugbucket The highlight of the Ōamaru War Memorial is Scottish sculptor Thomas Clapperton’s bronze soldier consoling a child symbolic of humanity for which the war was believed to have been fought. In 1929 his statue of Robert the Bruce was unveiled @edinburghcastle (@WaitakiMuseum 166065)

Hooray! Our team are super happy to announce that Chloe Searle is the new Director of Waitaki Museum & Archive and the Forrester Gallery. Congratulations Chloe!

@mildnys @OtagoMuseum @ManatuTaonga Wonderful news

So excited the embargo has lifted! And that @OtagoMuseum’s Tū Tonu Regional Museum Capability Initiative for Otago-Southland has been funded by @ManatuTaonga 🥳 Can’t wait to see a hypothetical idea used to illustrate what could be done if we had the resources, become a reality!

The Otago Museum touring show - 100 women, 100 words... Infinite Possibilities - is in our Vault Gallery until 08 June, 2021. Come in and find out about some of the women from Otago and Southland who actively live and work with STEM in all areas of their lives. @OtagoMuseum
