Talk and Tour: Golder Cottage

In conjunction with 'Golder Cottage,' currently exhibiting at Whirinaki Whare Taonga, hear from local artist Adrienne Martyn about her exhibition featuring Golder Cottage followed by a tour though the cottage itself. Meet at Whirinaki at 4pm with a short drive after to 707 Fergusson Drive.

No booking required.

'Golder Cottage,' by local artist Adrienne Martyn, shows, in hyper-real photographs, the emptied-out interior of Golder Cottage. Stripped of furnishings and memorabilia the rooms are revealed as austere and unadorned colonial spaces illuminated by natural light. Golder Cottage, built by John Golder in 1876 is one of the oldest surviving colonial houses in Upper Hutt and is now presented as a museum of colonial domestic life.
