Farm and Forest

Through a selection of artworks and museum artefacts, the story of Waikato’s changing landscape unfolds. Stripped of its lush forests out of necessity for survival, the region beats with the rhythm of economic progress today. This exhibition weaves art with history and conservation to highlight attitudinal changes towards reforestation among landowners.

About the Trust Waikato Art Gallery

Through the generous contribution of Trust Waikato, Waikato Museum is able to offer this gallery dedicated to exhibiting a rich blend of Trust Waikato artworks and works from the Museum’s own collection.

The Trust’s active collection of Waikato relevant artworks and historical documents will often be displayed with some relevance to other museum exhibitions or significant events in the Waikato cultural calendar. Most of the works will have some link to Tainui tangata whenua, the land, the river, representations of the colonial past and the rich history of the Waikato region.
