26 September 2009 – 11 April 2010
The Miniatures weaves a magical moment around the tiny objects of the Bren collection – a set of miniatures collected in London during the 1930s and 1940s by Reverend Robert Bren. Donated to the Hawke's Bay Cultural Trust in 1958 by Rev Bren’s widow, a single black and white photograph and five small dolls remain the only clues of the stories around which the Reverend created this extraordinary collection.

These secret stories have become the basis for HBMAG's latest writer's project. We invited Stephanie Johnson, an award winning novelist and screen-writer, to bring the Bren collection to life with a new cast of characters. Over a series of visits to explore the collection, Stephanie has created The Miniatures, a tale that leaps off into a fantasy world. Audiences young and old will delight in both the magic of the Bren collection and the storytelling talents of one of New Zealand’s favourite authors.

Exhibition Opening: SPECIAL TIME Saturday 26 September 2009 at 11am
