Around The Mountains exhibition

Darren Petry from Taupō District Council

A new exhibition coming to Taupō Museum has been assembled to showcase the beauty of our wonderful Tongariro National Park.

The concept for this unique exhibition came about following remarks made to one of the artists, Sue Graham, that she must have painted the mountains from every angle. From this came the unique idea of positioning the artworks in the middle of the room and for visitors to walk around to get the full effect.

Alongside Sue, five additional artists have been invited with works complimenting the theme of the Tongariro National Park, displaying their own series of artworks around the walls of the gallery, including photography, sculpture, drawings and paintings of New Zealand native flora and fauna of the area.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
