Hear leading contemporary photographer, Neil Pardington, speak about his exhibition The Vault, currently on show at Rotorua Museum. Armed with a large-format camera, Pardington has brought to light the hidden museum and gallery storage areas normally closed to the public, which he describes as ‘places filled with mystifying treasure’.

‘Pardington’s gathering of storage spaces also suggests a vast collection of strange, unanticipated “found art”. Placed under a spotlight, the hidden back rooms and corners of our museums and galleries offer many thought-provoking and surprising tales,’ says curator Ken Hall.

Entry to the event is included with admission to Rotorua Museum and is free for Rotorua residents with proof of residency.

Neil Pardington: The Vault, is on display at Rotorua Museum until 4 December 2011.
