Te Pihi Mata - The Sacred Eye: Partington's Photographs of Whanganui

8 December 2007 - 18 July 2009 | Whanganui Regional Museum

A new exhibition at Whanganui Regional Museum revolves around a collection of photographs that has been in the news since it was discovered in an old suitcase in 2001.

Whanganui Mäori protested when the collection of photographs went to auction and the sale was stopped. It made headlines around the world. The photographs were purchased for the Museum using funds from a number of local community and iwi organisations. And now an exhibition has been developed which is a unique collaboration with Whanganui iwi.
