Mīharo Wonder - Tote

Looking for wonder

Mīharo Wonder is the result of a sustained encounter with the collections, and is both a personal and curatorial response to them.

‘Wonder’ is many things: astonishment, the piquing of curiosity, a question raised – but it comes only through our willingness to be transported to other times, places and perspectives.

It reflects the passions of Alexander Turnbull, merchant and collector, and acknowledges the generosity of thousands of subsequent donors. It is indebted to the record of scholarly and imaginative enquiry into the meaning of the library’s collections.

The Print on this tote was created by Juliet Peter in the mid 1970s. "Blue" is a bold graphic print that calls to you to study and unjumble.
