Otago Museum’s latest special exhibition, Fashion
FWD: Disruption through Design, has just been announced
as a finalist for the Designers Institute of New Zealand
Best Awards in the Exhibitions and Temporary Structures
category.
The category celebrates New Zealand design in
layout and presentation and is the country’s premier
design awards.
“We are thrilled!”, said Craig Scott, Head of Exhibitions and Creative Services, “this exhibition has been so well received by the public, so it is great to have that confirmation by our design peers too”.
