Pop-up exhibition, ‘LocalEyes on Antarctica” with Guest Curator Dr Margaret Bradshaw.
Onsite at the Lyttelton Museum London Street Cabin, and online on the website.
This pop up photography exhibition, part of the Lyttelton Museum’s ‘LocalEyes’ series, showcases Antarctica as chosen by Margaret from the museum’s recently digitised photographic collection.
Whakaraupō local and Antarctic geologist Margaret Bradshaw is one of New Zealand’s trail-blazing female scientists. Her first expedition to the ice was in 1975, 6 years after the ban on women working in Antarctica was lifted. Four years later in 1979, Bradshaw became the first woman to lead a deep field research party. A fascination for the rocks of the Dry Valleys has led to a long career in Antarctic geology that continues today.
