Auckland War Museum

We were approached by Tanya Wilkinson, project manager of Auckland War Memorial Museum. Tanya was part of a project team at Auckland Museum working on an exhibition of photography by award-winning New Zealand photographer Olaf Petersen, and they were keen to exhibit some of our lights as part of the display for the photography. They wanted to feature a local designer and manufacturer.  The exhibition contains 65 framed original photographs, 5 large scale murals, a short film about Olaf Petersen, along with digital and physical interactives. As part of the exhibition design the team created a small lounge area where a short film is screened and a book about Petersen and his work is available to read. The exhibition design has a 1950’s aesthetic and the team were interested in using some of our iO flutes in the lounge area as they were perfect for the look they were after. The exhibition will opened in early April 2022 and will run through to February 2023. It may also tour to other venues around the country.
