This exhibition celebrates Ferdinand von Hochstetter: father of New Zealand geology (1829-1884) and commemorates the 150th anniversary of the arrival of Hochstetter and the Austrian Novara expedition in Auckland (1858-2008).
The exhibition is special because about half the items on exhibition have especially returned on loan to New Zealand shores from Vienna after 150 years - personally selected in Vienna by guest curator Dr Sascha Nolden.
