The Cook bicentenary exhibition which opened at the Canterbury Museum on March 13 was the most popular special exhibition since the opening of the enlarged museum in 1958, Dr R S. Duff, the museum director, said in a report to the Museum Trust Board Because of its • popularity the closing date was extended from March 31 to April 14. The exhibition was visited by 1000 children in organised school classes and was the chief attraction in a public attendance of 17,000 during the month it was open. When the exhibition’s tour of New Zealand museums finished in June a permanent exhibition of Cook’s explorations among the Polynesian islands would be set up. said Dr Duff
