Back of House Hui 2025

One day symposium

9.30am 21 May 2025

National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa

This day-long programme of workshops, presentations and discussion is aimed at the non-public-facing exhibition staff, registrars, collection managers and technicians working behind the scenes in galleries and museums across the motu. It is an opportunity to come together to celebrate the hidden mahi being done in the sector. By sharing knowledge in this open and friendly forum, we hope to foster collegiality, identify common issues, learn new or refresh existing skills and think about ways of working together to make better use of shared resources.

Brought to you by Te Pātaka Toi Adam Art Gallery in partnership with Alexander Turnbull Library, Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa National Library of New Zealand and National Services Te Paerangi.

This is the second iteration of the Back of House Hui. The first, titled Gloves On, was in 2023 and ran in conjunction with the Back of House suite of shows.
