Lake House Arts presents 'The Collectors', an exhibition by Jacqui Wilkinson exploring the history of collecting in colonial-era Aotearoa. From gold rush curios to Moa bones in European museums, it examines how collecting shaped identity, power, and scientific legacy.
Wilkinson invites reflection on whose stories are preserved, whose are lost, and what this history means today.
