Outer Spaces at Christchurch Art Gallery
Art works are spilling out of the Christchurch Art Gallery – greeting visitors as they approach the gallery, and dazzling as they make their way into the outer spaces of the gallery building itself. This is all part of Outer Spaces – a programme aiming to launch art from the familiar surrounds of the exhibition galleries and into unexpected spots.

Auckland Museum’s Secrets Revealed
Some secrets are so good they have to be shared. That’s why Auckland Museum is opening the doors on its never been seen collection, giving the world an opportunity to discover its hidden treasures. For the first time in over ten years, the Auckland Museum’s complete collection is back under one roof. To celebrate this ‘quintessentially Auckland’ collection, the public exhibition ‘SECRETS REVEALED: The backstage mysteries of your Museum’ will open on July 12th in the Museum’s Special Exhibitions Hall. With only 2% of the museum’s total collection on display at any one time, many of the almost 4 million objects have never been seen by the public. And they each have their own unique story to tell and history to share. From July 12 2008 at Auckland Museum, Parnell, Auckland. >>Visit www.aucklandmuseum.com
