Heritage Rescue

Brigid Gallagher visits Cromwell in Central Otago, to help revitalise the historic mining town's museum.

The team explore a museum that contains objects that date back to the mid-nineteenth century land wars, a taiaham and a mysterious sacred hair comb.

Brigid and her team head to a military museum run by Andy Moreland. The museum is in serious need of a clean-out and a more professional approach.

The team head to Rangitoto Island, where they explore its museum. They discover that the displays need to be updated to become more accessible to visitors.

The team take on a different museum challenge in Christchurch: to create a pop-up container exhibit for children featuring artefacts found after the earthquakes.

Gunfights on the street, famous tight rope walkers and mysterious ghost stories feature in the creation of a new exhibit at the Thames Historical Museum.

National treasures ranging from Jurassic fossils to some of New Zealand's finest examples of Māori weaving are languishing in an outdated setting at Kāwhia Museum.

Brigid revisits the museums and heritage sites she helped during the series to see how they're getting on now.
