MTG Hawke s Bay Museum s Trust collection continues to develop through the purchase of new works and artefacts by the MTG Foundation.
One such recent acquisition was this work The Harvest, by Ayesha Green. This work became part of the collection in December last year and although, with the museum closed at present it is not possible to view it, there are plans for it to be exhibited in the not too distant future.
