It is my pleasure as Chair to report on the continued successful execution of our Strategic Plan in the 2015–2016 financial year. This report captures the many successes delivered, outlines the challenges we face and sets out the future projects our team has been working on. As a Board, we continue to take great satisfaction in the progress the Museum has made over the last few years.
This progress has come about by hard work and the commitment of our team. In 2014 we focused on the revision of our Strategic Plan. The outcome of this process, Te Ara Hou – The Road Ahead, was a clear roadmap with significant input from our stakeholders. In 2016, after a mid-term review of the plan, we continue to see it coming to life.
We have continued to invest in skilled staff to underpin our developments, especially in the collection, conservation and communication areas. Our financial results reflect this investment.
We have worked hard at building partnership relationships with many organisations. This report demonstrates the success of these efforts and positions the Museum strongly for future development. These relationships continue to translate into new opportunities to build on the skills we have.
Like all institutions we continue to operate in a challenging financial environment. I would like to make special mention of our commercial teams who have been very successful this year.
We greatly appreciate the support of our contributing local authorities, Central Otago District Council, Clutha District Council, Waitaki District Council and the Dunedin City Council. We are planning to operate in a similar environment for the foreseeable future and are focusing on strategies to produce positive outcomes within our resource constraints.
The opening of the first stage of the Discovery World redevelopment at the end of 2015 in the form of the Beautiful Science gallery and the Perpetual Guardian Planetarium has been a great success. It marks the start of a major advance in our ability to connect with our communities. Planning for stage two of the redevelopment of the science centre is well advanced. Supporting this development have been several very successful exhibitions staged during the year.
I would like to reflect my thanks for the work of the management team and all staff at Otago Museum. The commitment and dedication shown to the institution is significant and most appreciated.
My appreciation also goes to my fellow Board members. The Board has worked well during the year and addressed some major decisions in a professional manner. I appreciate the energy and commitment they bring to Otago Museum. This year marks the end of the three-year appointment period and for those members finishing their terms, I thank you for your efforts over the years.
We are looking forward to a very positive future for Otago Museum.

Year in ReviewDirector, Otago Museum
The 2015-2016 year has been a memorable one for the Otago Museum, with many notable achievements. I’m enormously proud to be part of a team that has delivered some remarkable projects, exhibitions and programmes.
With so much going on at the Museum, it’s difficult to pick out individual highlights. However, I want to draw your attention to the ongoing investment in the Museum’s collections – the Museum now has more staff working on preserving, interpreting, curating and conserving our collection than at any other time in its 148-year history.
Not only have we leveraged this new talent and expertise to develop two exceptional community-focused exhibitions, we have also invested significant funds to ensure they were highly engaging exhibitions in a year where connecting with our community was a primary focus. Over 65,000 visitors in total attended this year’s special exhibitions: Hākui: Women of Kāi Tahu and Who Cared? Otago Nurses in WWI.
Last year’s appointment of a Curator Māori ensured the successful delivery of the important and moving large-scale exhibition Hākui: Women of Kāi Tahu, which built on new linkages forged with iwi, hapu and whānau across Te Waipounamu South Island.
The Collections team should also be commended for its further success in attracting New Zealand Lottery Grants Board funding for the very important three-year Taoka Digitisation Project.
As someone passionate about engaging Museum visitors with science, the opening of the Perpetual Guardian Planetarium and the Beautiful Science Gallery in December were my personal highlights. The planetarium was funded from a significant contribution from Museum reserves and generous donations from our partners. The Perpetual Guardian Planetarium and Beautiful Science Gallery represent a more than $1.5 million investment in the Museum’s future. It was a wonderful opening night at the Museum, from the unforgettable music of Martin Phillips (of Dunedin band The Chills) to the astounding presentation by NASA Astronaut Col (retired) Rex Walheim. It was exciting that a number of our sponsors and supporters, including Perpetual Guardian, the Dodd-Walls Centre, and Otago Community Trust were able to be present.
Amidst the many highs of the year were also some financial setbacks. In particular the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union impacted significantly on the value of the Museum’s investment portfolio at the end of the reporting period. Returns from investments help fund operations, so this loss reduced the Museum’s buffer to withstand fluctuations in the markets, and further increases our reliance on core
funding from our four regional supporting authorities. While the Museum reserves still appear robust, it should be noted that a large proportion (the Museum Trust and Special Funds) is ring-fenced for particular activities, and is not available for general operations.
Economic pressures on the local funding authorities have resulted in zero increasesin Museum funding in five of the past six years. The cumulative impact is of strategicconcern long-term. With costs rising year on year as we continue to focus on delivering high quality experiences, upgrading facilities and capital investment in the buildings and infrastructure, the lack of increase puts further unsustainable pressure on the Museum to secure other sources of income.
The Museum gratefully acknowledges the generous sponsorship and grants from its partners, supporters and donors. However, while the Museum has been very successful in securing project-based sponsorship and grants, unless an adjustment is made by our funding bodies, I worry that the Museum’s present success may not be sustainable in the long term.
I would like to record my sincere appreciation for the support of the Museum Trust Board and our Māori Advisory Committee, and acknowledge the hard work and dedication of everyone who works at the Museum, including Honorary Curators and volunteers. Each member of the Museum team has contributed significantly to this year’s successes.
Our hard work over the past year has been recognised through a number of peer awards, including those won by the Museum at the 2016 Museums Australasia Conference. However, our focus remains on creating and delivering experiences that engage, excite, inspire and entertain our visitors. As the Museum enters a year of long-term development that includes working towards the renovation of Discovery World Tropical Forest, a renewed vision for Tāngata Whenua gallery, and new exhibitions and programmes, ensuring our visitors have inspirational experiences remains paramount. Do come and visit soon!

The Friends of Otago Museum is growing. The membership is expanding slowly but surely – a very positive situation. The Friends now has 134 members.
Lee McLean is the new administrator for the Friends of the Otago Museum. Lee began her role in May and has been familiarising herself with the requirements of the role and building relationships with key Museum staff. The Friends Council has a wonderful relationship with Museum staff and the Director is supportive of that growing relationship.
Friends of the Museum was offered a subsidised show at the Planetarium to encourage people to find out more about this impressive facility and engage with the amazing technology in the Beautiful Science Gallery.
The Friends Council has been working on a number of projects over the last four to six months.
1. Oral History Project. After a slow start the paperwork was completed and interviews with the first subject should take place over the coming months, depending on availability of the Oral Historian. The Friends Council will apply for funding to support this project once the pilot is complete. We are working closely with the Museum curators on this project.
2. The Events subcommittee is developing a calendar of activities. Based around the Museum’s galleries, collections, events and exhibitions, they will enhance the work and reputation of the Museum, engage existing Friends and attract new members.
3. Volunteer Co-ordinator pilot project. The Museum is keen to utilise the skills of the Friends’ membership and of the wider community. An active and effective volunteer programme requires a coordinator. The Council is in discussion with the Museum about providing financial support for a part-time Volunteer Co-ordinator for a 6-12 month pilot project. This creates an opportunity for the Friends to invest in a partnership with the Museum.
4. ‘Friends of Dunedin Culture’. Members of the Council have continued to engage with Friends associations from other local cultural institutions. Shared events are mainly hosted by the Otago Settlers Association and held at Toitū Otago Settlers Museum. Discussions have been wide-ranging and have given the participating organisations the opportunity to learn more about each other and the complex landscape for voluntary organisations.
The present Council has worked steadfastly to grow a Friends organisation that is forward- thinking and outward-focused. Council members know that the Friends of
the Otago Museum must be relevant to the membership, to the Museum, and to the organisations it connects with in the wider community.

Otago Museum cemented its place in space with the opening of its state-of-the-art 51-seat immersive theatre planetarium. The Perpetual Guardian Planetarium and the Beautiful Science Gallery were opened by Board Chair Graham Crombie, Science and Innovation Minister Hon Steven Joyce, Perpetual Guardian founder Andrew Barnes and NASA Astronaut Col (retired) Rex Walheim on 4 December 2015.
Perpetual Guardian partnered with Otago Museum to invest in a 10-year naming rights sponsorship of the planetarium, supporting the Museum’s science engagement programme. The company also committed additional funding to assist schools from outlying areas and low decile schools to access planetarium programmes.
Evans and Sutherland technicians from Utah, USA, pieced together the perforated aluminium sections of the 900kg dome. It is 23% pierced to allow ventilation and reduce weight, and is suspended in a lightproof and soundproof space at a 12° angle to enable 360° viewing from tilted seats. The paired Sony projection system is state-of-the-art.
The planetarium’s opening weekend on 5-6 December 2015 proved highly popular, with interactive and fun activities for families and astronomy enthusiasts. Guest appearances by real-life astronaut and veteran of three space shuttle flights, Rex Walheim, and his personal accounts of space flight captured the imagination of the public and attracted huge attendances.
Launch-day offerings included solar astronomy and creating a star-filled Southern Skies wall in the Atrium. Lab-in-a-box, with Kennedy Space Center engineer Anna Murphy, provided the opportunity for aspiring rocket scientists to make and launch water pressure-based rockets on the Museum Reserve.
Three shows were developed by the planetarium production team for the opening. • Mārama ā-Whetū, an introduction to Māori myths and legends relating to the night sky, was written by Prof. John Broughton. • Museum Director Dr Ian Griffin wrote, and actor Mark Hadlow narrated, Amazing Universe, taking travellers on an exploration
of some of the most wondrous astronomical sights humanity has discovered. The soundtrack for the show, We are all Stardust, was composed and produced by 2014-15 University of Otago Mozart Fellow, Jeremy Mayall. • The Sky Tonight, a show focusing on the current night sky over Otago, was presented daily by Dome Producer Oana Jones and Museum science communicators.
The three new planetarium shows attracted sell-out audiences. By the end of January, just eight weeks after opening, 10,000 people had come through the planetarium. This contributed to one of the best summer Museum visitor attendances since 2009.
A new children’s show Spacetronauts, was launched in April 2016, for the first time allowing children under 4 years old to attend. The show was created in-house by the Museum’s planetarium team.

Perpetual Guardian PlanetariumDr Craig Grant was appointed to the Museum’s newly-created position of Director, Science Engagement, at the end of June 2015. He is responsible for the Science Engagement team and the various platforms for science engagement, including Discovery World Tropical Forest, the new Perpetual Guardian Planetarium and delivering outreach programmes within the region and beyond.
The Museum’s partnership with the Dodd-Walls Centre for Photonic and Quantum Technologies (a Centre of Research Excellence) together with new local, regional and national collaborations, resulted in the Museum securing in excess of $250,000 to support its science engagement programmes. This gave the Museum a high profile in delivering engaging, science-rich programmes to widespread communities throughout the region.
Otago Museum supported the Dodd-Walls Centre and Auckland University’s Illuminating NZ: Te Kōanga events. This was a Ministry for Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) Unlocking Curious Minds-funded project designed to celebrate the International Year
of Light by offering school children engaging displays and hands-on activities based on physics and photonics. Otago Museum played a significant role facilitating connections to seven other museums nationally and providing design expertise as well as hosting the final event in partnership with the University of Otago’s Physics Department. Over 4,500 ‘Light Matters’ kits were made and distributed nationwide (including over 1,300 in the Otago region).
The Participatory Science Platform (PSP) Otago Pilot is an Otago Museum-led consortium that includes the University of Otago, Otago Polytechnic, Ngāi Tahu and the New Zealand International Science Festival. Funded by MBIE, the collaboration was branded Otago Science Into Action and the pilot was launched in July 2015 to support community-driven participatory science projects in the region. Projects arising from these new connections encouraged positive attitudes toward the role that science plays in society, bringing together community-based organisations with science professionals.
The Science Engagement team worked closely with the Genetics Otago Lab-in-a-box (LIAB) team sharing delivery of its programmes to communities across Otago and throughout the South Island. The LIAB, led by Prof. Peter Dearden and supported by an MBIE grant, is a shipping container that has been converted into a travelling science laboratory to deliver science outreach experiences to rural schools, marae and communities. In the Catlins a third of the community came out to explore LIAB’s Star Lab mobile planetarium and to stargaze with Museum Director Ian Griffin.
Museum science communicators developed and delivered the STEAM Team after-school club every Thursday afternoon. STEAM integrates science, technology, engineering, and maths (STEM) activities with the arts (STEAM). The programme aims to break down traditional science stereotypes and encourage creative thinking about real-life science issues. It proved popular with young science enthusiasts and has expanded each term.

After nearly three years of close consultation with local rūnaka and the wider Kāi Tahu community, the Hākui: Women of Kāi Tahu exhibition (Special Exhibitions Gallery, 20 November 2015 to 8 May 2016) was opened on 19 November.
The term hākui is an acknowledgement of respect and a form of address to a female elder. This exhibition celebrated mothers, aunties, grandmothers, taua, great-aunts, great-grandmothers and tūpuna wāhine. It shared the stories, achievements and legacies of respected Kāi Tahu wāhine – as seen from the perspective of kā uri whakatipu, today’s generations – through objects, photographs and memories. The exhibition opening was timed to coincide with the Ngāi Tahu Hui-ā-Iwi festival held in Dunedin.
A mihi whakatau was attended by over 250 people, one of the largest opening functions in recent Otago Museum history. In the first
three weeks after opening the exhibition welcomed 3,613 visitors, and by closing in May 2016 had attracted a total of 34,377 visitors.
Fifty hākui were profiled in the exhibition, which also featured more than 55 taoka and 200 photographs. This was a very significant achievement and the first time that many of these taoka, stories and images had been shared outside whanau.
Interactive elements were a highlight, inviting visitors to step inside Aunty’s kitchen, hear the pronunciation of te reo Māori words and place names, plait kāwai kete (kete handles), listen to interviews and waiata, and share memories of the women in their own lives.
An Inspired by Hākui makerspace, comprising a series of hands-on activities, and events were held over the summer school holidays. These included plaiting,
making poi, raraka (weaving), whiri (plaiting) and artwork.
During the closing weekend, former students of Te Waipounamu Māori Girls’ College and their whānau were invited to an afternoon tea to share memories of family, friendship and life at the school. Many of the hākui featured in the exhibition attended this school. The Museum and Hākui Steering Committee hosted a closing ceremony for exhibition contributors and their whānau in May.
After a visit by staff from Canterbury Museum, they approached Otago Museum to ask if they could host the exhibition in May/June 2017. This request was approved by the lenders and Māori Advisory Committee.

Hākui: Women of Kāi TahuThe latest permanent exhibition space in the Museum, the Beautiful Science Gallery, opened on 5 December at the same time as the Perpetual Guardian Planetarium.
The gallery was built by Wellington-based Gibson Group, based on a concept developed by the Museum. The gallery uses state-of-the-art laser technology to create an interactive digital installation featuring 12 projectors displaying large-scale images on the walls. World-first technology allows visitors to control their own exploration, discovering the beauty of science as they navigate vast immersive screens showing the seasons, people, landscapes and skies of Otago.
One hundred and fifty multimedia stories are layered into the huge canvases, so visitors can ‘dig down’ to explore the science behind the images. The gallery includes over 1,200 media components provided by local, national and international suppliers.
The Otago Daily Times contributed a large number of current and historical images of major Dunedin events and significant moments in Otago’s history.
The gallery also functions as a sophisticated venue with event organisers able to tailor the content played on the 12 screens with their own corporate messages and branding.

The Museum houses one of the largest collections of Kāi Tahu taoka in the world, with over 66,000 registered objects and a further 670 registered lots.
In December the Museum’s Collections and Research team was awarded over $395,000 from the Lottery Environment and Heritage fund to support the Taoka Digitisation Project – to manage, assess and digitise the Māori collection over the next three years to provide a rich resource for online visitors worldwide. Selected key objects will be photographed with enhancements such as 3D renders or panning views, using custom-made technology developed by the Museum’s Developer, Systems and Interactive Media. A target of 20,000 digitised taoka has been set for the project.
The project will enable the capture of the comprehensive information relating to taoka at the Museum, and facilitate coordination of access to objects and information. Staff
will build on existing outreach work to take the knowledge and experience gained in the digitisation process to the community, working directly with groups to gain a better understanding of the condition of objects held in various marae and elsewhere.
Taoka Digitisation Project
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR
15
Taoka Digitisation ProjectThe Who Cared? Otago Nurses in WWI exhibition, researched and developed by Bachelor of Design (Communication) students at Otago Polytechnic in association with the Otago Museum exhibition development team, opened in the Museum’s 1877 Gallery in September.
Based on the historical novel Lives We Leave Behind by local author Dr Maxine Alterio, the immersive and interactive exhibition told the stories of nurses who cared for wounded soldiers during the Great War.
Visitors were transported to the No. 1 New Zealand Stationary Hospital in Wisques, France, in the autumn of 1917 where they could explore a temporary surgery, hospital ward and a Nissen hut where the nurses lived.
Visitors could read nurses’ letters, touch their few possessions, listen in on their conversations and gain an insight into their
most private thoughts. The exhibition was an example of a very successful collaboration resulting in an engaging, innovative and educational experience.

Recognition of the Museum’s excellence in all facets of its work was evidenced by its successes in several national awards.
The top science communication honour was awarded to Director Ian Griffin in November – the Prime Minister’s Science Media Communication Prize. This was particularly noteworthy as it was the first time a person from the museum sector has won the award.
The award recognised not only his active role as science promoter and communicator as Director of the Museum, where he established the new Science Engagement division and built the world’s southernmost planetarium, but also recognised Dr Griffin’s activities throughout the community. He became Chair of Dark Skies Dunedin, served on the Boards of Museums Aotearoa and the International Council of Museums, wrote weekly astronomy columns for the Otago Daily Times, and gave numerous
Museum's Work Recognisedpresentations to diverse groups such as the University of the Third Age (U3A), Dunedin Theosophical Society, Dunedin South Rotary, Otago University Science Club, Emmanuel Church, Port Chalmers Historic Society, Naseby Vision, and many more.

Museum's Work Recognised
A World-Class Collection360° online resourceA new online resource for Otago University Classics students was created by the Museum’s Collection Manager, Humanities to remotely access ten artefacts from the collection.
The selected objects showed theimportance of drinking in Ancient Greece’s traditional symposium setting, where the male aristocracy drank together and conversed. The master of ceremonies oversaw the mixing of water with wine in a large central krater and slave boys served the participants. Vessels involved were various drinking cups, mixing pots, jugs and wine coolers.
The Museum’s objects digitised in this project included two kylikes, two kraters, two oinochoai, a pedestal dish, a skyphos, a ladle and a lekythos.
A webpage was created to host 360° rotating images of the objects together with information from the Museum’s collection records, including the physical description, measurements, and provenance. This was the first time the Museum and University have worked together to develop a digital resource specific to a course’s needs that can be accessed online at any time.
Object of the Day onlineThe digital display of collection objects has become the norm in 21st century museums. Otago Museum’s Object of the Day, showcasing individual collection items with their catalogue records to our local communities and the world, was launched on social media platforms, Facebook and Twitter, in April. Through these platforms audiences engage with the Museum by ‘liking’ the displayed objects, share items of interest with their networks, and comment or ask questions about the object. Over 10,000 (10,448 as at end of June 2016) objects are online with more being added as the digitisation project progresses.
Inscriptions decipheredUnder the umbrella of the Cuneiform in Australia and New Zealand (CANZ) project, visiting PhD students from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem examined and worked on translations of rare ancient cuneiform inscriptions discovered in the Museum’s significant collection of around 150 cuneiform tablets, the largest known in the southern hemisphere. They identified a medical piece with prescriptions to ward off the Lamaštu-demon, who was believed to attack women in childbirth and new-born babies.
The researchers’ work built on studies done on the Museum’s cuneiforms in 2013 identifying a tablet with inscriptions attributed to Hašmar-Galšu, a ruler of Nippur, an ancient sacred Sumerian city. It is one of only five known inscriptions by him. Three of the examples, including the Otago Museum piece, gave the same dedicatory inscription for reconstruction work at the temple of the King of the Gods, Enlil, in the holy city of Nippur.

Research FellowshipsawardedThe annual Otago Museum Linnaeus Taxonomy Fellowship, awarded for taxonomic research as a discrete project or part of a bigger study, went to two Masters students to work on the Museum collection as they undertook significant projects in zoology and geology.
Marcus Richards from Otago University Geology Department is studying the Museum’s collection to inform his description of a new fossil penguin, and investigate its relationships. The specimen was the first of its kind found in the region and is one of the most complete Eocene (33–56 million years ago) penguins found in New Zealand. The fossil was found near Danseys Pass and is older than the recently-described Late Oligocene Kairuku penguin. Research on ancient penguins contributes to the understanding of evolutionary transition and sheds light on ancient climates.
Shaun Wilson from Otago University Zoology Department is investigating killer whales’ skull morphology and modelling skull variations as part of a population genetics study. He collected data from the Museum’s orca skull on display in Animal Attic. Wilson will also be examining the skulls of nine animals that stranded in Te Waewae Bay, Southland, last year and skulls from other museum collections around the world.
Identification of objectsIdentification of objects is a service to the community that is popular with the public and staff alike – serendipity brings surprising things through the door.
A large scrimshaw whale tooth was donated to the local Hospice Shop. Was it real scrimshaw or 'faux-shaw'? Museum staff undertook diagnostic chemical analysis which showed that the Hospice tooth was very different from a real sperm whale tooth. It was shown to be missing a fundamental chemical component of teeth and bones. Although the result was compared with several plastics and other materials, the chemistry team were unable to reach a conclusion on what, exactly, the mystery ‘tooth’ was composed of. A microscopic examination showed small air bubbles across the surface which, combined with the analysis, suggested its composition was a man-made resin, and the tooth was therefore 'faux-shaw'.
Historical comparisonsThe Otago Museum, in collaboration with Landcare Research, began a significant moth data-collection project. The Museum holds one of New Zealand’s most accurately documented and regionally comprehensive collections of moths, assembled by former Otago Museum Collections and Research Manager Brian Patrick. The project will capture and digitise the data for over 23,000 specimens providing a snapshot of moth distribution from 20–30 years ago. As moths are sensitive indicators of environmental change, the standardised data will enable ecological monitoring by comparing historic data with new records from current field surveys.

Kāi Tahu Curator welcomedRachel Wesley, granddaughter of former Māori Advisory Committee and Board member Tatane Wesley, descendent of Edward Weller and his first wife Paparu, daughter of Tahatū, started at the Museum as Curator Māori on Monday 23 May. Formerly Manager of Te Runaka o Ōtākou and member of the Museum’s Māori Advisory Committee, Wesley brings to the position active local and wider community links, and her whakapapa gives very strong ties into all of the major hapū from South Canterbury to Foveaux Strait. She has a background in archaeology, and has been involved with archaeological work at Papanui Inlet for ten years.
Conservation and regional support2015-2016 has been a very busy year for the conservation team with 30,534 collection items assessed and/or treated, a significant rise on past years, though there is still much work to do to tackle existing backlogs. Important preventive conservation steps have also been taken with data from over 18 months’ continuous environmental and pest monitoring as well as the Museum’s first-ever complete gallery light survey providing firm figures upon which improvements can be planned and implemented.
Important links have been established within Dunedin and the wider Otago region with over 250 hours of free conservation and collection care support and training provided to regional museums, galleries and other heritage institutions. The team has also consulted and delivered contracted training as far afield as Middlemarch and Auckland. Strong relationships have also been formed with the Anthropology and Archaeology and Material Science Departments at Otago University as well as Toitū Otago Settlers Museum and Dunedin Public Art Gallery with staff sharing training opportunities, expertise and equipment.
Collectionmanagement boostCuratorial, collections and conservation staff have assessed three times more items in 2015-2016 than in the previous year. This significant increase in collections information management reflects the team’s renewed focus on data quality and dissemination. Ultimately the information and images generated will be made available online through the new Digital Asset Management System which is being implemented as part of the Lottery-funded Taoka Digitisation project.

The Museum continued to offer a welcoming and stimulating space for all, and the statistics show that the offerings were on target. The displays and exhibitions, diverse programmes and events, and educational opportunities through school visits, sleepovers and outreach experiences provided a wealth of opportunities for engagement with all sectors of the community. Three exhibitions (Hākui: Women of Kāi Tahu, Who Cared? Otago Nurses in WWI, and Intersections: Ceramics from Ralph Hotere’s Personal Collection) each drew more than 30,000 attendees.
Over 366,000 people visited the Museum in the financial year ended 30 June 2016. Unprecedented numbers of visitors thronged in over the summer, with overall visitor numbers up 21%, peaking at 2,207 on Wednesday 30 December. In December the Museum had 18 days with over 1,000 visitors per day, compared with only two days at that level last year. Discovery World Tropical Forest had its highest January attendance since 2009.

Exhibitions share storiesIntersections: Ceramics from Ralph Hotere’s Personal Collection exhibition (1877 Gallery) closed in September 2015. It was visited by 32,067 people in total. Over 70 artworks explored the connections and creative works of Hotere and fellow artists. The majority of objects displayed were made by renowned New Zealand potter Barry Brickell, who was Hotere’s close friend. After attending the exhibition opening, Brickell was inspired to create four touchable tiles that were added to the display. The exhibition also featured works from Nicholas Brandon, Lawrence Ewing, Mirek Smíšek, Ann Verdcourt, Michael Trumic, Chester Nealie and Adair Bruce. The exhibition was a finalist in both the 2016 ServiceIQ New Zealand Museum Awards in the ‘Metropolitan – Art’ category, and the Best Awards (Designers Institute of NZ) in the Best Spatial Design, Exhibition Installations and Temporary Structures category.
Surviving Chunuk Bair: H D Skinner at Gallipoli commemorated the WW1 centenary. Former Museum Director H D Skinner’s experiences during the Gallipoli campaign of World War I were the subject of this long-term display that opened in August. His letters home, CBE medal and citation signed by the Queen, together with personal items such as a water bottle, sewing kit and photographs, on loan from his family, were
displayed. Digital displays allowed visitors to read letters describing the three days and nights of fighting during the Battle of Chunuk Bair. Skinner was one of more than 24,000 ANZAC soldiers injured at Gallipoli.
The Art and Light exhibition opened in the Otago Museum H D Skinner Annex in August. Celebrating the UNESCO International Year of Light and light-based technologies, the exhibition was a collaboration between the Dunedin School of Art and the University of Otago Departments of Physics (Dodd Walls Centre) Botany, Anatomy, Physiology and Computer Science. Artists and researchers collaborated to develop visual material relating to research topics.
Einstein: 100 Years of the General Theory of Relativity opened in November to celebrate 100 years since Albert Einstein’s theory was introduced. The University of Otago’s Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Centre for Science Communication and Otago Museum collaborated to develop and deliver this exhibit. It offered an insight into Einstein as a person, exploring his theory describing light, space and time, and looking at its practical applications throughout the last century and into the future. The exhibition was supported by interactive elements, including a relativistic bike. Visitors could cycle through the virtual German town of Tübingen while experiencing first-hand how their surroundings would appear when travelling at almost the speed of light. As

part of the closing weekend activities, the Museum, in collaboration with The Print Room, offered a screen-printing workshop featuring a bespoke Museum design.
The Museum contributed Time Warp to the iD Dunedin Fashion Week programme with a temporary display case transporting visitors back to the diverse and chaotic fashions of the 1970s. Installed in the Museum’s foyer cloakroom, the display featured over 40 items from the Museum’s collection. A booklet was produced to accompany the display. With the current high interest in vintage fashion, the display proved popular and received much media attention. The four booked-out basement tours, Best Dressed Basement Tour, led by Museum conservation and collection staff, showed unique and historical pieces as well as the care and storage of the large collection of garments and accessories.
Discovery World Stage TwoWellington-based Gibson Group was selected to deliver the Discovery World Stage Two redevelopment project by October 2017. The Museum’s core project team worked closely with cultural adviser Tahu Potiki reviewing the original concept and undertook intensive in-house consultation with Museum teams and with the Gibson Group to develop the scope and direction of the project.

In its 17th consecutive year, the Otago Wildlife Photography Competition once again attracted record entries (1997) showcasing diverse photogenic wildlife, plants and stories of human impact on the environment.
Two field trips and a specialist workshop were well-supported with Steve Ting (Centre for Science Communication), Paul Donovan and Gregor Richardson (Otago Daily Times) leading the field trips and workshop. The competition was presented in partnership with Jonathan’s Photo Warehouse and Canon, and continued to receive support from local specialist freelance photographers as well as from the Otago Daily Times and Centre for Science Communication. Stephen Jacquiery (Illustrations Editor, Otago Daily Times), Rod Morris (wildlife photographer), and Jonathan Kemp (Jonathan’s Photo Warehouse) judged the photographs, and the winning video was selected by Paul Donovan (documentary cameraman).
The winning photographs, along with highly commended images and a selection of other hand-picked entries and videos were displayed in the annual exhibition which opened in June. A mini film festival of nature documentaries from the Centre for Science Communication was held in support of the exhibition.
The winner of the 2016 Otago Wildlife Photography Competition, Riley Baker of Dunedin, died on 15 August 2016, following a motorbike accident.

Education beats targetsThe Museum’s Learning Experiences Outside the Classroom (LEOTC) programmes were delivered at an unprecedented rate to very high numbers of students by the Museum’s team of two educators. Programmes were provided to nearly 6000 students, representing 381% of the year’s target.
The Methodist Mission and Otago Museum partnered to develop Science Kids – a programme targeting students who have an interest in science but barriers to their learning and engagement. The driving goals of the programme were to promote and develop life skills through engagement with science, enhancing individual confidence and achievement. The programme was delivered over four terms to two lower decile schools in Dunedin. The after-school sessions were well-received by schools and parents and will continue during 2016.
MBIE’s Unlocking Curious Minds fund provided support for Family Science Learning – an educational programme of family science activities for low-decile schools – allowed the Museum’s programmes to be delivered to new audiences. The Education team took family-friendly hands-on science and technology to parents, caregivers and students in an after-school setting. The programme was delivered to 12 schools and was well-received, with 100% of respondents saying they would recommend the event to other schools.
Reach for the StarsPerpetual Guardian’s sponsorship of the Reach for the Stars funding programme enabled the delivery of educational planetarium shows to rural and low decile schools. The programme offered free admission to the planetarium and a 20% bus transport subsidy. Live shows that were curriculum-based and tailored for learning outcomes were developed. The team delivered 23 sessions to 635 students from 11 different Otago Schools, and the shows were very popular with these schools.
Community connectionsThe Brain Health Research Centre in association with the Otago Museum and the Neurological Foundation presented a week of talks by leading neuroscientists, panel discussions, a free Neurodome show in which visitors took a 3D tour of a brain in the Planetarium, and other family-friendly interactives. Specialist talks covered brain disease, concussion, hypnotherapy and the power of the subconscious, sleep and dreams, the formation of the foetal brain, the power of voice and song, and the establishment of New Zealand’s first academic neurosurgery unit.
The director and many staff actively contributed to organisations locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally, taking leadership roles or sharing knowledge about the Museum, its collection and their personal specialties, contributing to their audiences’ lifelong learning in the realms of science, nature and culture.

Qualmark and Enviro Gold The Museum went through its annual Qualmark assessment in April and achieved Qualmark Endorsed Visitor Activity status with a mark of 96%, up from 89% in 2014. Qualmark New Zealand is the official mark of quality for tourism operations across the country, assuring visitors that customer service, visitor experience, health and safety, are of the highest standard at the Museum.
The Museum also retained its Enviro Award Gold status, demonstrating the ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability and responsible tourism by mitigating the effects of resource usage and contributing to wider community conservation activity.
In line with this commitment to operate sustainably, the Museum purchased a second-hand Japanese imported electric car – a 2013 Nissan Leaf. Running solely on battery power the Leaf is easy to drive, silently keeping up with traffic. It will comfortably transport four people and its running costs are about one-fifth to one-third of those of petrol-fuelled cars.
The new enviro-friendly passenger lift was commissioned in August and proved to be a welcome upgrade with increases in speed, efficiency and emergency safety systems.
Shop and Café contributeWith the increase in visitor numbers, especially over the summer, the Museum Café and Shop incomes were up considerably on the same period last year. December in particular was an excellent trading month with the Perpetual Guardian Planetarium leading the way, followed by strong increases in sales across the Café, Shop and Discovery World Tropical Forest.
The Museum secured space for a pop-up shop at Dunedin International Airport over the Christmas period. The shop was installed in early December and promoted Perpetual Guardian Planetarium shows and the Museum’s exhibitions, programmes and events, as well as selling merchandise.
Venues business growingIn December the Museum added ‘wow’ factor to its unique venues with the addition of two new award-winning options – the Beautiful Science Gallery and the Perpetual Guardian Planetarium.
Within the Beautiful Science Gallery, event organisers have the flexibility to tailor the content played on the 12 giant screens for clients to display their own corporate messages and branding. With the capacity to host up to 120 people, and optional customised shows in the 51-seat Perpetual Guardian Planetarium, the Museum can create an out-of-this-world evening for corporate or private events, product launches and conferences.
A virtual reality (VR) immersive tour of the Beautiful Science Gallery, Perpetual Guardian Planetarium and Tropical Forest was prepared for the 2016 Meetings conference – a national business tourism event for the conference and events industry. Equipped with a mobile VR headset, visitors toured the two new venues, as well as the ever-popular Discovery World Tropical Forest butterfly experience.
As a boost to the venues business the Otago Museum, in partnership with the University of Otago, was successful in its bid to host the inaugural 2018 conference for the Society of the Preservation of Natural History Collections (SPNHC) together with the Taxonomic Databases Working Group (TDWG). Supported by Tourism New Zealand and Enterprise Dunedin this success positions the Museum as a key player in this important field with up to 300 international delegates predicted to attend. It is forecast to have a significant impact on the local economy.

Sponsorship endorses Museum projectsIn October the Museum announced a transformational sponsorship and philanthropic package with New Zealand blue chip company Perpetual Guardian. The company’s 10-year strategic investment in the Museum’s science engagement programme will inspire the next generation of young New Zealanders to take an interest in science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics.
Andrew Barnes, founder of Perpetual Guardian, commented that the Museum’s vision, to inspire a passion for science and to share engaging stories about the world and the universe, aligned perfectly with Perpetual Guardian’s aim to support and
Donations, Grants and Sponsorship Funds SecuredTOTAL $774,354
encourage learning and education in Otago.
The Museum won substantial external funding in the period covered by this report. A grant of $500,000 towards the Discovery World Stage Two project was announced from the Otago Community Trust, although the Museum will not receive the funds until they are drawn down in 2016/2017 year. In addition to this, the Museum secured funding from partnerships in other projects that have been awarded funding from MBIE and the Lottery Grants Board.
FacilitiesThe Museum’s investment in facilities and new technology also reaped rewards. The new HVAC system was commissioned in time for the hottest part of the holiday season when a significant part of the system was
replaced and upgraded. The much-needed upgrade enhanced control of the Museum’s environment, improving both customer experience and collection care.
Investment of just under $400,000 was made, and it is estimated that the new chiller will be about 20% more energy efficient than the previous one. Its seismically-rated spring mounts will protect it from movement associated with wind shear and earthquakes.
Veezi, a new ticket-booking system, was installed for sales of Planetarium tickets online and from the Museum. The Museum Shop was set up as a point of sale for ticketing to ease congestion at the Level one Discovery Desk in busy periods, and online tickets very quickly increased to about one third of all tickets sold.

Shanghai exhibitions exploredDirector Dr Ian Griffin together with Board Member Prof. John Broughton and Head of Design Craig Scott visited Shanghai to discuss planned and new exhibitions in partnership with the Shanghai Museum, the Shanghai Natural History Museum and the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum. Discussions were also held to develop a space-based show for both New Zealand and China audiences.
Rating the MuseumSurvey results contributed to a deeper understanding of current Museum visitors and their needs.
The Dunedin City Council’s 2015 Residents’ Opinion Survey found that satisfaction with the Museum in 2015 came in at 96% – no change from the previous year.
The Museum’s social media platform on Facebook saw increasing numbers of ‘likes’ 3510 (2690), and new followers on Twitter and Instagram, forming a baseline for future comparisons.
Museum team members travelled widely to visit museums and other institutions building new relationships and developing collaborations to inform future innovative exhibitions and programmes.

An Outward-looking and Inclusive Culture
The Museum’s Trip Advisor rating is 4.5 stars, and frequent, favourable reviews are posted.The Museums Aotearoa National Visitor Survey (135 respondents) investigated who visits New Zealand’s museums, and why. The results create an overview of the demographics of the Museum’s visitors as well as providing a satisfaction rating with specific highlights and improvements identified. The data can be compared with results for the New Zealand museum sector as a whole and are more fully reported in the Statement for Service Performance.
Developing Museum peopleThe Museum believes that investing in its people through professional development, as much as its preservation and presentation of its collection, is the key to engaging the staff, developing leaders and fulfilling its goal of sharing knowledge through its outward-looking and inclusive culture.

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the readers of Otago Museum Trust Board’s financial statements and performance information for the year ended 30 June 2016
The Auditor-General is the auditor of Otago Museum Trust Board (the Museum). The Auditor-General has appointed me, Scott Tobin, using the staff and resources of Audit New Zealand, to carry out the audit of the financial statements and performance information of the Museum on her behalf.
We have audited:
the financial statements of the Museum on pages 52 to 84, that comprise the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016, the statement of financial performance, statement of comprehensive revenue and expenses, statement of changes in equity, and cash flow statement for the year ended on that date and the notes to the financial statements that include the statement of accounting policies and other explanatory information; and
the performance information of the Museum on pages 31 to 48.
Adverse opinion on the financial statements, other than the cash flow statement – Inappropriate accounting for museum collection assets
As stated in the statement of accounting policies on page 62, the Museum has not recognised the majority of its collection assets in the statement of financial position, nor the associated depreciation expense in the statement of financial performance. This is a departure from applicable Public Benefit Entity International Public Sector Accounting Standard 17 Property, Plant and Equipment (PBE IPSAS 17), which generally requires assets to be recognised, and depreciated over their useful lives, in the financial statements. There are no practical audit procedures that we have been able to apply to quantify the effect of this departure from PBE IPSAS 17.
In our opinion, because of the effect of the failure to account for all of the museum collection assets:
the financial statements of the Museum:
do not present fairly, in all material respects:
its financial position as at 30 June 2016; and
its financial performance for the year then ended; and
do not comply with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand in accordance with the Public Benefit Entity Standards Reduced Disclosure Regime.
88
Unmodified opinion on the cash flow statement and the performance information
In our opinion:
the cash flow statement of the Museum on page 55:
presents fairly, in all material respects, its cash flows for the year ended 30 June 2016; and
complies with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand in accordance with the Public Benefit Entity Standards Reduced Disclosure Regime.
The performance information of the Museum on pages 31 to 48:
presents fairly, in all material respects, the Museum’s actual performance compared against the performance targets and other measures by which performance was judged in relation to the Museum’s objectives for the year ended 30 June 2016; and
complies with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand.
Other than for the effects of failing to account for the museum collection assets in the manner required by PBE IPSAS 17 as outlined above, in our opinion the financial statements of the Museum present fairly in all material respects its financial position as at 30 June 2016 and its financial performance for the year ended on that date.
Our audit was completed on 19 October 2016. This is the date at which our opinion is expressed.
The basis of our opinion is explained below. In addition, we outline the responsibilities of the Board and our responsibilities, and explain our independence.
Basis of opinion
We carried out our audit in accordance with the Auditor-General’s Auditing Standards, which incorporate the International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and carry out our audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and the performance information are free from material misstatement.
Material misstatements are differences or omissions of amounts and disclosures that, in our judgement, are likely to influence readers’ overall understanding of the financial statements and the performance information. We found material misstatements that were not corrected, as we have referred to in our adverse opinion on the financial statements, other than the cash flow statement.
An audit involves carrying out procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and in the performance information. The procedures selected depend on our judgement, including our assessment of risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and the performance information, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the preparation of the
Museum’s financial statements and performance information in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Museum’s internal control.
An audit also involves evaluating:
the appropriateness of accounting policies used and whether they have been consistently applied;
the reasonableness of the significant accounting estimates and judgements made by the Board;
the appropriateness of the reported performance information within the Museum’s framework for reporting performance;
the adequacy of the disclosures in the financial statements and in the performance information; and
the overall presentation of the financial statements and the performance information.
We did not examine every transaction, nor do we guarantee complete accuracy of the financial statements and the performance information. Also, we did not evaluate the security and controls over the electronic publication of the financial statements and the performance information.
We believe we have obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for our unmodified audit opinion on the cash flow statement and performance information and adverse opinion on the financial statements (other than the cash flow statement).
Responsibilities of the Board
The Board is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements for the Museum that comply with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand. The Board is also responsible for preparation of the performance information for the Museum.
The Board’s responsibilities arise from the Otago Museum Trust Board Act 1996.
The Board is responsible for such internal control as it determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements and the performance information that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Board is also responsible for the publication of the financial statements and the performance information, whether in printed or electronic form.
Responsibilities of the Auditor
We are responsible for expressing an independent opinion on the financial statements and the performance information and reporting that opinion to you based on our audit. Our responsibility arises from the Public Audit Act 2001 and section 27 of the Otago Museum Trust Board Act 1996.
