A museum stroll

[stu]

As it was a pleasant day yesterday, my wife and I decided to venture south of the bridge and have a Sunday stroll around the Auckland War Memorial Museum followed by a nice cuppa. Being typical Auckland residents, we hadn't been there for years (about 10 in my case).

Among the many photos snapped, here are some that may be of interest to the forum.....

































I liked the lighting effects on many of the displays so I used a slow shutter and no flash in the hope of capturing that aspect as well.

Cheers,
Stu.

Thanks. Not sure when the lighting went in but the place is looking a lot smarter than when I last went.

The lighting was in at least 2 years ago when i was last home, can't wait to visit again when me & she head back for a break later this year!!

Great shots Stu. That lighting and the modern display style has been in there for at least five years I think.

If you go there, allow a lot of time to have a good look at the displays, there's a lot of interesting stuff on display in the glass cases, etc. It's really neat to be able to see items there like Sir Keith Park's uniform and medals, etc. It's a superb museum.
