The last day of is cool. It asks, ? It's because initiatives like this keep us connected. Even if we can't travel to see each other, or haven't visited in a while, Museum 30 lets us share our stories, & our passion and we're grateful for it.

Day 30 - ‘Why Museum 30?'
Why posting 30 things about ? Because museums are more than the people visit. Museums have many objects visitors usually don't get to see (for various reasons not because we wouldn't want to), aspects people usually wouldn't think and people wouldn't know about. The in the is one of the lesser known parts. I hope got to know 'us' a bit better. :)
Stay curious!

Day 29 - ‘'
Collections are so much more than gatherings of stuff. They are more than just pretty or old things. They tell can tell stories about the past, about or and . In this case even all three together.

Day 28 - ‘Walls'
Quite in contrast to the amazing terracotta walls of the Waterhouse Building (the old part of the ), the walls in the General are more practical: white painted concrete. Except for a few posters to guide the users through our geographical systematic arrangement of the collections, we don't have much decoration.
A bit more colour offer the walls in the open plan office. A soothing pale violet.

Ever since the doors were opened in 1930 of the Willi Fels wing of the Museum, hordes of visitors were guided through the collections. Including groups of schoolchildren.

Painted skin of a Red Snapper. The side away from camera has wires protruding to mount the fish on a wall or in a case.
Collected by A.F.S. Sandager, the lighthouse keeper, Mokohinau Islands, Hauraki Gulf, in 1887.
Artisan collectors were important through the early years of the Otago Museum.

Day 27 - ‘Plan'
The is not just only big, it is actually like a maze. I'm regularly amazed to be shown new weird stairways around. Did you know, we have half storeys? I'm sure there is a plan, but an M.C. painting will make more sense, I guess.

'Elegant iron columns will run from the floor of the main hall to the roof, supporting the galleries on their outer side. ... the floors be made of a fireproof and almost indestructible concrete' Plans and as-built 1877.

Day 26 - ‘Colleague'
Today, I'd like to use the occasion to give a shout out to all dear colleagues in and who take care of the human heritage, discover new aspects, help to interpret it, make happen and share the cool things to know, often with little pay and much pressure.
