Whanganui Regional Museum s new director is returning to the town she grew up in after gaining extensive experience in museums around New Zealand.
Dr Bronwyn Labrum was born and raised in Whanganui, where she attended Whanganui High School. She has undergraduate and graduate degrees in history from Massey University and received her PhD from Victoria University of Wellington in 2000. The Museum s Joint Council has managed a thorough and considered process to make this important appointment and I think we have found an outstanding director in Dr Labrum, Tangaroa said.
