Heritage Rescue

Brigid Gallagher visits Cromwell in Central Otago, to help revitalize 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 taiaha 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 takes on a museum challenge in Christchurch; they must create a pop-up container exhibit for children featuring artifacts found after the earthquakes.

Gunfights on the street, famous tightrope walkers and mysterious ghost stories make up the 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treasures ranging from Jurassic fossils to some of New Zealand's finest examples of Māori weaving are languishing in an outdated setting at the Kāwhia Museum, so the team heads there to examine the museum and help out.

On Heritage Rescue this week, Brigid revisits all seven of our rescued sites.
