Thirty days hath September, thirty things we remember … (#30 of 30). This is our final story celebrating Wellington's unique history and culture. Thank you to our story tellers and most importantly to Wellington for being such a cool city!
In 2006 the Museum of Wellington City & Sea held an exhibition to celebrate Wellington Zoo turning 100. It was one of my first projects and was so much fun. The lovely staff from Wellington Zoo were great to work with and brought a blue tongued lizard, cockatoo and tuatara to the Museum. Already in residence was 'King Dick' (named after Prime Minister Richard Seddon) and officially the Zoo's first animal. My whole family helped out with the big outdoor 'Animals on the Wharf' event - a great excuse to dress up and celebrate all Wellington's animals: furry, bristly and scaly. (Kim, Marketing Manager)
Stay tuned for our daily stories throughout Wellington’s Heritage Month 2013 - where staff and volunteers share one of their favourite stories of the Wellington Region.
