OUR TREASURES
Exhibitions are popular and timeless events for bringing the community together and sharing artistry and ideas. Throughout the past century New Zealand has held regular national exhibitions to showcase what our country has to offer between the different regions and internationally.
The 1939 to 1940 Centennial Exhibition is one of New Zealand s most significant as it was the centrepiece marking 100 years since the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi.
The timing was also significant in showing New Zealand s technological progress and innovative character in the face of a looming world war. After the announcement of war in September of 1939, the organisers debated whether to hold the exhibition.

Towards the end of the 19th century, roads in New Zealand began changing because of new and varied motor vehicles being imported.
Although they were private vehicles, they were still governed by the laws for traction engines, dictating they must be driven no faster than walking pace and with men walking in front and behind to warn of their approach.
