Temporal Markers; Defining Russell through Maps & Charts
27 June – 14 Sept 2009

Our winter exhibition in the Marie King Gallery reveals Kororareka/Russell and the Bay of Islands through the eyes and drawings of early cartographers. Charts, maps and books from the museum collection reveal intimate discoveries by early European explorers’ and settlers to the Bay of Islands. We see Kororareka and the Bay from their point of view and follow their journey as they name landscapes, observe and record comments, interpret Maori place names , document Maori settlements, the geography and oceanscape. As Kororareka/Russell was colonized and acquired land is mapped and defined by new owners’ names, we are drawn to consider the concept of ‘our place’ and society as forever transitional.
