Visitors' Book

The Lindauer Art Gallery Māori Visitors’ Book is a remarkable document. Spanning the years 1901 to 1918, it contains hundreds of poignant comments written in te reo Māori by visitors to the gallery.

This extraordinary record provides a window into Māori engagement with their tūpuna through the Partridge Collection. See their handwritten stories, and read the original responses or their translations.
