MUSEUM CENTENARY
A special display of photographs depicting the last 100 years of the Canterbury Museum, and folk-dancing and singing to illustrate various nationalities are some of the proposals put forward by the director (Dr R. S. Duff) for the museum’s one-hundredth anniversary celebrations.
“I want to avoid anything stuffy or formal, and emphasise the popular appeal of the museum,” said Dr Duff. Guided tours of the museum are planned and an architect’s model of the extensions to the museum—the one-hundredth anniversary wing—will be displayed. “These celebrations will foreshadow the public appeal for funds for the new wing,” Dr Duff said.
