I will be doing an exhibition on William Colenso at the Hastings City Art Gallery during the bicentenary celebrations if you are interested.

Alas the HBMAG is closed for refurbishment, and as such there won’t be an associated exhibition. There will be, however, a whole programme of events, so keep your eyes out. If you are ever in Napier, the cemetary in which Colenso is buried is worth a visit – author Peter Wells and the museum archivist Gail Pope have been working with volunteers over the last few years to populate the cemetary with wild flowers.
All the best
Claire

Gt. Granddaughter (one of the First Missionaries) It will certainly worth visiting Hawke’s Bay later this year to see the exhibition.,
