Picturesque

How did Waikato become so picturesque? Join Waikato Museum Te Whare Taonga o Waikato curator Nadia Gush for a public lecture looking at the way Hamiltonians were influenced by the eighteenth-century idea of the picturesque landscape.

This talk draws together two of our exhibitions, Shaping Hamilton Huringa Kirikiriroa and Picturesque Gardens.
