STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

The Otago Museum is a non-profit-making, permanent institution, founded by the people of Otago for the service and development of their community.

The Museum’s vision is “to be an excellent museum of which the people of Otago and New Zealand will be proud”. To achieve this the Museum has a strong community focus in presenting its products and services and an emphasis on collection care, ensuring the preservation of the heritage of the region.

The mission of the Museum is

to inspire and enrich our community, and enhance understanding of the world through our collections, programmes and research.The Museum seeks to achieve its mission through preservation, research and education. It acquires, records, researches, conserves, communicates and exhibits material evidence of people, knowledge and the environment for the education, entertainment and inspiration of local communities and visitors.

The Otago Museum has three primary areas of focus: culture, nature and science.

The Otago Museum’s Strategic Plan, developed in consultation with funders and the community, sets out the following objectives as priorities:

• To provide the best stewardship of the collections

• To continually improve the customer experience

• To build a sense of community ownership and pride

• To maintain and strengthen relationships with Iwi

• To secure and expand the Museum’s funding resources.

In order to achieve these objectives two key result areas have been determined:

• Products and services to be relevant and consistently high in quality, as perceived by our communities

• Effective and positive leadership and management of collections, resources and skills by all staff and the Board.

The Otago Museum is proud of its collections and its position as an internationally respected museum. It continues to strive to provide the community of Otago with a comprehensive range of high quality opportunities for a variety of audiences provided through an efficient use of public resources.

CHAIRPERSON’S FOREWORDOnce more I proudly record a most successful year for the Otago Museum. All divisions have contributed their particular skills and enterprise towards a fine year of service to the community, and I am very pleased to report a new record number of visitors, �50,000 – making us one of the most highly visited museums (per capita) in Australasia.

City Birds, a superb show developed in collaboration with the Otago Daily Times, was an exhibition highlight of the period. Featuring Stephen Jaquiery’s splendid photographs alongside innovative displays of Museum collections in engaging settings, the exhibition was so popular that it was extended for an additional five months. The show was accompanied by extensive community programmes including field trips, taxidermy demonstrations and enthralling talks. A record 80,000 visitors enjoyed the exhibition, showing clearly the public’s support for local natural history. Running concurrently with City Birds through the summer was a memorable kimono exhibition, Kimono – A Japanese Story, based on over �00 kimono and supporting items gifted by the people of Dunedin’s sister city, Otaru, to the people of Otago. A selection of these kimono were chosen to illustrate the Museum’s calendar for �006.

Several other top class exhibitions also featured in the period, including Photolightscapes, Rediscover China, Scarfies, Otago Wildlife Photography, ANZANG and the commendably and imaginatively displayed Layers of Inspiration – Creative Quilts.

The Tropical Habitat structure was significantly progressed – an exciting and innovative three level construction, built using a new kind of roofing material used here for the first time in New Zealand. We are now in the process of further fundraising to enable the fitout and we thank most sincerely the generous benefactors to date. A special thanks to The Community Trust of Otago for a further contribution of $�00,000 towards the project this year.

The Melanesia Gallery revitalisation is taking place as signalled in our Development Plan and promises to provide a fresh presentation of some of the best of our Melanesian artefacts.

Discovery World has offered many exciting programmes and exhibitions; particularly noteworthy was the success of SciCards®, a series of science themed trading cards for ‘tweens’ – a new concept developed by our people. SciCards®

were presented to the Asia Pacific Science Centres conference, where they were most enthusiastically received. A further innovative science communication project developed in the period was Cosmix™, a series of comic books integrating scientific themes. Both these projects are highly innovative and demonstrate the commitment of our team to finding new ways to reach audiences with science.

Following a nationwide audit of collection management processes, the office of the Auditor General very highly commended us on our procedures. As noted by them, unlike many other museums, our storage facilities, systems and processes provide an excellent framework for best practice in all aspects of collection care. Notable additions to our collections in the period include the Otaru gifts, the McClymont mollusc collection, items from the University of Otago Anatomy collections, moa bones and other evidence of extinct bird life retrieved from

a major Museum excavation, local Mäori artefacts, many plant and insect specimens and a �50 year old Samurai sword.

The Otago Museum continues to support organisations throughout the region and was most pleased to join the opening celebrations of Alexandra’s Central Stories and of the Upper Waitaki Pioneer Museum and Gallery. The Museum provides a significant level of regional assistance even in the absence of the former Lottery Grants Board fund and the much needed Regional Museums Service. Initiatives to reinstate regional services in the period have foundered, due in no small part to a lack of understanding and support from Te Papa

Margaret Collins, Otago Museum Trust Board Chairperson.

“Fabulous learning place. Your city should be proud of this museum

. You are all lucky to be able to share it.“

National Services. This setback is distressing, but we shall continue efforts to gain Central Government funding of this service as well as government funding to support our care of national treasures.

Our thanks to our contributing local authorities, Central Otago District Council, Clutha District Council and Waitaki District Council, and especially to our most significant contributor the Dunedin City Council. By working closely together we have made good headway through some major issues. The Heads of Agreement negotiations with the contributing local authorities, establishing the path forward for the next ten years, are positive and ongoing.

The Museum hosted a successful Australia and New Zealand Science and Technology Exhibitors Network Conference in July, a three day opportunity to showcase Discovery World, the Museum and Otago. In August, we were immensely proud to attend the New Zealand Tourism Awards in Auckland, winning the Culture and Heritage Award for the third consecutive year – an achievement which places us in the Awards’ Hall of Fame. We were also named as the overall winner in the Visitor Attractions and Activities category – an outstanding achievement. This is the first time that any museum has won this category. The judges’ comment succinctly encapsulates why: “the Otago Museum facilities, galleries, collections, staff training and management processes all underpin the delivery of a world class experience.”

This year, we have farewelled three significant supporters of the Otago Museum: Rev Dr Warren Featherston, a Trust Board member for a sterling �6 years, during which time making a most worthy contribution as Chair of the Museum’s Project Control Group for the $�8 million redevelopment, Chair of the Staffing Committee and Chair of the Trust Board; Ross Liddell, Board Treasurer for �6 years, an enthusiastic and dedicated supporter of the Otago Museum, not only on financial matters; and Brian Patrick, our Collections and Research Manager for the past nine years, who left to become Director of Central Stories, the Alexandra Museum. We wish all three the very best for the future and hope they will continue their involvement with the Otago Museum in some way.

Welcome to Board member Robert Hannah and new Board Treasurer Mike Horne, who join a wise and supportive Board. As always our most sincere thanks to our visionary and devoted Chief Executive Shimrath Paul and his team of loyal, talented and extremely able people; together with our very many enthusiastic and capable volunteers and honorary curators they contribute so much to stimulate and give pleasure to our community.

Margaret Collins Chairperson, Otago Museum Trust Board

CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REVIEW OF THE YEAR�005-�006 has been a fantastically gratifying and rewarding year. Otago Museum’s status as a truly excellent museum has been affirmed and reaffirmed, and a number of exciting and innovative projects and exhibitions have taken place.

In October the Museum was nationally recognised at the New Zealand Tourism Awards as not only the best Culture and Heritage Tourism Attraction but also the best Visitor Activity and Attraction in New Zealand. As well as these awards, we received a Special Distinction Award. This level of success saw the Museum taking a place in the Tourism Awards ‘Hall of Fame’ – the pinnacle of achievement in this arena.

Perhaps even more exciting than the Tourism Awards success was the firm indication from our community, in the form of visitor numbers, that they value their Museum and visit it more than ever. For the first time, visitor numbers topped �50,000.

This year also saw the highest ever visitor numbers to a special exhibition, with 80,000 visitors to City Birds – A Dunedin Focus. This exhibition, in partnership with the Otago Daily Times, featured the birds we see in our own backyards and affirmed the community’s high level of interest in the world around them. Photographs by Stephen Jaquiery and mounted bird specimens from our excellent collection were displayed in themed areas from city parks and gardens to estuaries and wetlands. A comprehensive book, City Birds – A Dunedin Field Guide, complemented the exhibition and is now in its second print.

Another popular and engaging exhibition in the period was Kimono – A Japanese Story, showcasing a major gift of kimono given to the Otago Museum for the people of Dunedin from our sister city in Japan, Otaru. The opening weekend was full of excitement and drew huge numbers, as a delegation from Otaru joined the local community to celebrate Japanese culture and the sister city relationship. Festivities included demonstrations to huge audiences from Japanese masters of martial arts, dance and kimono dressing.

Innovation has seen the Museum’s focus extend beyond the Museum building this year through several different kinds of outreach. Travellers through the Dunedin International Airport are now greeted with an object rich Otago Museum exhibition space that tells the story of the airport alongside natural and human history stories of the airport area, as well as giving a taste of the Museum’s current special exhibitions. Discovery World science outreach has been an exciting development – science trading cards for 8-�� years olds (‘tweens’) have been designed and distributed nationwide. With a web interface maximising their interactivity, SciCards® have been enthusiastically received by their young audience. A further innovative project, Cosmix™ began in this period with the first of three comics on science themes for teenagers, building on the success of SciCards®.

In the absence of centralised national support for smaller museums, outreach within the Otago region has also been a focus. The first of what will be an ongoing series of training and networking sessions for regional museum staff and volunteers has been held at the Museum this year – we remain hopeful that resourcing from Central Government will ultimately help us to support Otago’s regional museums even more effectively.

“This is a splendid museum

–well planned, m

odern, airy, light, very interesting and items beautifully displayed. The staff w

ere amazingly helpful and friendly.”

The Museum’s �5 year Development Plan has been implemented in the period with the progression of the Tropical Habitat structure. Going forward, we are excited about opening the Habitat in �007, bringing the opportunity to experience a tropical rainforest and live butterflies to the Otago community. Te Matapihi, the planned cultural resource centre in partnership with Kai Tähu, has remained a focus for development this year. The revitalisation of our Melanesia Gallery is well underway and will see some of the best of our significant Melanesian collection displayed in fresh and improved ways, from both the design and collection care perspectives.

Looking back on such a satisfying year, sincere appreciation must go to the Museum’s talented and committed staff, who truly are what enables the Museum’s continued success. However, the Museum team is wider than the employed staff, and thanks must also go to our Honorary Curators and the many volunteers who work in various capacities to support the Otago Museum, along with those individuals and organisations on the community who partner with us to ‘make things happen’.

The Otago Museum Trust Board have continued to provide wise governance as well as support, advice and advocacy. My warm appreciation is due to them all. Special mention must go to Margaret Collins, Chairperson; Malcolm Farry, Deputy Chairperson; to retiring past Chairperson and Board member, Rev Dr Warren Featherston; and retiring Treasurer Ross Liddell.

Looking forward to the year ahead, I feel a sense of excited anticipation. �006-�007 will see the development and implementation of a new strategic plan, and I have no doubt that the Otago Museum team of staff, Board, volunteers and stakeholders can build on our success to date, bringing our communities in Otago and beyond more excellent and innovative Otago Museum experiences.

THE YEAR IN REVIEWCOLLECTIONS AND RESEARCH

This year’s success of the exhibition City Birds – A Dunedin Focus underlined the importance of the Museum’s natural history collections. In terms of size, coverage and growth these natural history collections represent the larger proportion of the Museum’s total collection and in many areas are internationally important. Over 4,000 natural history specimens were added to the collections in the period. The City Birds exhibition was supported with City Birds – A Dunedin Field Guide, written by the Museum’s natural history curators and featuring the photographs of Stephen Jaquiery.

A large and generous gift of over �00 kimono and associated garments from Dunedin’s Sister City of Otaru, Japan was received and showcased in our exhibition Kimono – A Japanese Story. These collection items have now been recorded in our database and appropriately stored, adding to an already nationally important textile collection. Due to the future proofing of the storage areas during the Museum’s Redevelopment, these �00 new items were able to be easily accommodated. We anticipate over time being able to share these beautiful items with other communities in New Zealand, through loans to their museums.

The Museum’s systems for administering the collections were scrutinised by Office of the Auditor General during the year as part of a nationwide review of processes and resources for Collection Management. The Otago Museum received an excellent report reflecting the importance the Museum places in this area and the resources put to maintaining, sharing and growing the collection.

The year has been a busy one for research with increasing numbers of both enquiries and research visits to the collections. Objects from the Museum’s collection continue to be loaned for both research and exhibitions. Field work has been a highlight with successful and fruitful expeditions to a site rich in extinct bird bones and other material near Tumai.

“A beautiful Museum

PROGRAMMES

The Programmes Team continues to create and deliver innovative and high quality programmes and events designed to extend and enrich the experience of visitors to the Otago Museum.

A wide range of community programmes have been offered to complement exhibitions and gallery displays, including such varied opportunities as a taxidermy demonstration, samurai sword performances, field trips to bird watching sites, workshops on planting for birds and drawing birds, a Japanese tea ceremony and kimono dressing demonstrations, along with traditional Indonesian dance performances and French cooking demonstrations.

In March a new approach to the Museum’s annual Public Forum was trialled. Input from the community into the Museum’s exhibition and programmes was sought through an on-line survey. It was gratifying once again to receive positive and supportive feedback from the community.

Delivering high quality, effective learning experiences based around the Museum’s amazing collections, gallery displays and exhibitions continues to be the focus of the Education Team. Programmes developed around the themes Natural New Zealand, Tangata Whenua, Cultural Celebrations and Phenomenal Science, along with Starlab, Sleepover and Discovery World experiences at the Museum, were delivered to �6,�64 Otago and Southland school students with accompanying adults. Almost ��,000 of those students participated in the Museum’s successful Learning Experiences Outside the Classroom (LEOTC) programmes. Feedback from teachers and students remains overwhelmingly positive for these unique educational experiences.

The Search Centre has continued to offer stimulating programmes to visitors including weekend programmes on Ema (Japanese prayer/wish plaques), Japanese Tea Ceremonies, Daruma (Japanese wish dolls), Te Manu Tukutuku (the Mäori Kite),

Visitors enjoying the special events surrounding the Japan Festival.

The Whale Tale and Mäori Weaving. Adult education programmes centering on Native Frogs of New Zealand and Benhar, complete with fieldtrips, and regular case displays featuring such rare and varied collection items as Victorian ice-cream making equipment, stone tools, the Bateleur eagle and Asian religious icons, have contributed to the vibrancy and popularity of the Search Centre. The first in a series of ‘Explorer Backpacks’ was developed this year, designed to guide young visitors on an investigative journey through the Museum. Packed full of discovery tools and information, these backpacks have proved highly popular and a second series is planned in the coming year.

Gallery Communicators have provided a range of interpretive experiences including engaging gallery floor talks and daily tours centered around the galleries, exhibitions and collections. A series of Interactive Trolley displays and presentations including the themes Feel a Fossil, Molluscs, Kimono, Bird Nests and Quilts have also been developed to extend the visitor experience. A number of weekend gala events were organised and held during the year including Animal Attic Birthday, Creepy Critters Day, Albatross Day and Endangered and Extinct Animals Day. The varied activities have attracted a wide range of participants.

Discovery World has been enhanced with the delivery of a range of exciting and entertaining science shows and demonstrations delivered to extend its science themes. Discovery Club, an after school science club for 8 – �� year olds has continued to prove highly successful, with members participating in two modules, covering such themes as Chemistry of an Explosion, The Science of a Storm and Discovering the Moon.

Following on from the highly successful national project SciCards®, the Museum was once again successful in attracting funding for a new science and technology project, Cosmix™. The innovative Cosmix™ project involves the development and printing of a series of three attractive, quality comic books of high appeal to teenagers, containing stories with science content. 50,000 copies of Cosmix™, issue one, were distributed free to teenagers throughout New Zealand to promote the understanding and value of science and technology in everyday life.

Highlights for the year have included:

• A series of �0 stimulating and informative talks were held at the Otago Museum on topical issues. These included Gods, Ghosts and Spirits in Chinese Cosmology, The Origin and the Future of the Universe, What Lurks Beneath The Waves of Foveaux Strait, Otago’s Endangered Skinks and NASA and the International Space Station

“Wonderful M

useum, clean, bright, great exhibits. Particularly enjoying the visiting photography exhibit.”

FINANCE AND SUPPORT SERVICES

The further integration and development of management and financial information systems has enabled increased efficiency in the Finance and Support Services area during this year. Improvements in the management and dissemination of information, in terms of its accuracy, timeliness and scope have been made, giving those who manage the day-to-day administrative operations of the Museum straightforward access to data as and when required.

The re-focused Museum Shop achieved a record year, with excellent results in terms of turnover and contribution to the Museum’s funding. Contributing to this success in particular was the excellent book City Birds – A Dunedin Field Guide and the record Museum visitor numbers. In addition significant emphasis was placed on reviewing the Shop’s focus and enhancing the shopping experience through improved stock, layout and displays.

Highlights for the year have included:

• Streamlining of the Museum’s accounting system for greater efficiency and accuracy

• Development of a comprehensive human resources management and reporting system

• Further development of the Tourism and Facilities business measurement systems

• Launching the Otago Museum Online Shop as part of the Museum’s website

• Creating an attractive range of Otago Museum merchandise

EXECUTIVE OFFICE

The Executive Office has continued its core role of liaising with stakeholders and managing Museum operations in the period, ensuring that all Museum Divisions are well focussed and working productively and that stakeholders, from the Board to the community, have every opportunity to contribute effectively and are well informed about Museum operations. Liaison with the Contributing Local Authorities, always a central focus, has been particularly key in this period with negotiations commenced and progressed towards a ten year Heads of Agreement.

Being active in our community is an important role for the Chief Executive and to this end leadership positions were held on the Otago Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and Arana Hall Council.

In addition, the Chief Executive held a position on the Aviation, Travel and Tourism Training Council of ATTTO (Aviation, Travel and Tourism Training Organisation) and was the Chairperson of ASTC(NZ) the Association of Science and Technology Centres of New Zealand.

6 – ASSOCIATION OF FRIENDS OF THE OTAGO MUSEUMThe last year may well have been a decisive point in the history of the Association of Friends of the Otago Museum, now in its 80th year. The level of activity of the Otago Museum itself with successful promotion through a variety of initiatives has been impressive. Plans by the Museum to set up other categories of membership have challenged the Association to redefine its role in a changing world.

Historically, the Friends was formed as an identifiable support group of, mostly, mature citizens who valued the Museum and who arranged meetings, excursions, and other activities relevant to the cultural, historical, and scientific aspects of the role of the Museum. New membership structures proposed by the Otago Museum constitute an opportunity to the Association of Friends to provide something that retains the loyalty of its current supporters and also complements the Museum’s plans to set up a membership programme with wider appeal. As the Association of Friends moves forward, full consultation with its members and open and honest discussion with the Museum team will see us seeking to meet these exciting challenges.

Friends event highlights in the period have included the annual combined dinner with members of the Otago Institute. In the same month there was a wine and cheese evening for Friends members and Museum staff. The combined dinner with the Otago Classical Association in July was also the occasion for a talk by Professor Terence Dennis, of the Music Department, on classical themes in music. There were two lunchtime talks held with members of the Museum staff on their research topics, given by Dimitri Anson and Moira White.

I would like to express my thanks to all Council members for their loyal support through the year; Peter Holland (Vice-President), Margery Blackman, Bill Brockie, Margaret Cameron, Lin Phelan, Richard Skinner and Gordon Turner, also to John Darby until his departure early in �006. The Chief Executive, Mr Shimrath Paul, and Museum staff are also thanked for their contributions to discussions, both formally and informally.
