Carried Away: Bags Unpacked
THU 13 JUN 2019 - SUN 1 DEC 2019
Bags Unpacked showcases over 150 individual bags from Auckland Museum's collection, many on display for the first time.
Every bag has a history, a story to tell – from haute couture fashion to cultural traditions. Bags can convey social standing, practical needs or be a statement of art.
From curious creations such as an albatross foot purse and bear gut bag with fur trim, to taonga imbued with Māori and Pacific cultural values such as kete and bilum, the exhibition explores the stories associated with their creation and the people who used them.
This exhibition is truly global, with over thirty countries represented.
By the way, our new Bachmann Orthodontics cotton tote bags will arrive soon. A small contribution to keep the world plastic-free.
