Rise in museum visitors
Te Maori exhibition meant more people visited the Canterbury Museum, as well as the Robert McDougall Art Gallery last month. Canterbury Museum Trust board members were told at a board meeting yesterday that visitor numbers at the museum increased 35 per cent in April compared with April last year. The museum’s director, Mr Michael Trotter, said many people visited the museum to see Nga Taonga o Te Waipounamu exhibition, which was set up to complement Te Maori.
“A lot of people came especially to see our displays, rather than just as a follow-up to Te Maori,” he said. The exhibition would be kept for some time as it had been so successful.
