There was a noticeable spike in the number of insect-related enquiries during the Bugs: the Mega World of Minibeasts exhibition. Otago Museum staff regularly present and share their knowledge in-house and through external presentations. In relation to the collection, the Conservation Manager has actively participated in a range of presentations which include: • Conservation at Otago Museum – Forward plan for conservation, Otago Museum Trust Board • Museum stores and Conservation lab tour, Emily Fryer Conservation • Conservation/agents of deterioration, Museums Aotearoa Regional Forum • Conservation at Otago Museum, Association of Friends of the Otago Museum • Tour of natural science stores and conservation, Museums Australia ACHIEVED: Gold coin donations make gallery tours more accessible Although not a new feature of the Museum offering, in December 2014 it was decided to offer the daily museum tours as a gold coin donation, instead of $12 per person. As per the numbers below, this decision has increased the amount of people at a small cost of revenue. The level of income earned in comparison to total income earned by the Museum makes it immaterial; the increase in engagement with the community outweighs the small amount of lost revenue.
