Commonwealth Games<br />
Exhibition at New Brighton<br />
Museum ends this month<br />
The 50th anniversary major exhibition<br />
of the 1974 British Commonwealth Games<br />
has been a resounding hit with local,<br />
international, and countrywide travellers<br />
visiting the New Brighton Museum.<br />
Previously, the museum sent out a New<br />
Zealand wide request looking for any and<br />
all Games memorabilia to display in the<br />
five week exhibition. This resulted in a<br />
wide range of rare items from all over New<br />
Zealand.<br />
“We have some special treasures here,<br />
a lot of it which we get to keep as they<br />
have been donated permanently to the<br />
museum. But that’s the role of the museum<br />
is to collect this heritage stuff and actually<br />
preserve it for the future. We’re proud of<br />
what we have been able to achieve for the<br />
people of Christchurch who have come to<br />
see this event,” Museum president Wayne<br />
Hawker said and shared there has been<br />
huge interest in the exhibition as the Games<br />
were a significant moment in Christchurch’s<br />
history.<br />
Volunteers at the New Brighton Museum<br />
have painstakingly gathered hundreds of<br />
items over the past four months to help<br />
celebrate the city’s hosting of what was<br />
known as the ‘Friendly Games’.<br />
The comprehensive collection includes<br />
old autograph books, event medals, and on<br />
display during the weekends a rare Holden<br />
Kingswood used by Games officials, in<br />
addition to uniforms from the 1974 British<br />
Commonwealth Games.<br />
The British Commonwealth Games<br />
exhibition runs through until mid-<br />
<strong>February</strong>.<br />
