Curators’ Tours: Modern Living

Take part in a free tour of Modern Living: Design in 1950s New Zealand with the exhibition’s curators, Justine Olsen and Lizzie Bisley.

Modern Living explores the vision for a more equal, happier way of life, which grew from the devastation of World War II. Good, affordable design was seen as key to society’s transformation and a growing sense of national identity was emerging.

Immerse yourself in the changing culture of 1950s New Zealand, and get insights into how art, design, and architecture reflected and contributed to these changes.
