Cuba Character
A DigitalNZ Story by Alexander Turnbull Library
Stories from the Street: On exhibition at the Turnbull Gallery from 17 August to 11 September 2015. http://natlib.govt.nz/visiting/wellington/the-turnbull-gallery Cuba Character is the result of a joint project between Victoria University students of Museum and Heritage Studies and the National Library. We endeavoured to explore the familiar and the unknown as well – of exhibitions. In facing challenges and learning new skills, we have come to value the experience of developing an exhibition from start to finish. We hope you will share the same enthusiasm for this project.
