This process was facilitated by the generous acquisition of two sets of large concertina storage shelves, which have improved both accessibility and preservation of our artefacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the storage reorganisation complete, the Museum Committee began planning for a long-term update of our displays. However, these plans were accelerated when we received a generous offer from the Woodville Pioneer Museum of one large timber and glass haberdashery counter, along with two substantial ex-photographers\u2019 vertical display cabinets. Recognising the value of these additions, the committee unanimously agreed to accept the offer.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eketahuna.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/mushorse.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5861\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eketahuna.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/mushorse.png 600w, https:\/\/www.eketahuna.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/mushorse-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.eketahuna.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/mushorse-150x113.png 150w, https:\/\/www.eketahuna.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/mushorse-135x100.png 135w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Integrating these exceptional display cabinets into the exhibition space required a comprehensive reorganisation of our displays. Every item in our exhibition areas was carefully moved and repositioned to accommodate the new cabinets, ensuring that the overall presentation and visitor experience is significantly enhanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The introduction of the new display cabinets has brought significant benefits to the presentation of our collection. With the additional space and improved display capabilities, we have been able to reintroduce items that were previously kept in storage or not displayed to their best advantage. This has allowed us to showcase a wider variety of artefacts, giving visitors the opportunity to engage with objects that have not been seen for some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, the new cabinets have enabled us to retire certain items that have been on continuous display for many years. This rotation not only helps to preserve those artefacts by limiting their exposure but also ensures that our exhibitions remain fresh and engaging for returning visitors. Our aim is to periodically alternate the contents of the display cabinets in the coming months, providing an ever-evolving experience and highlighting the breadth of our collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>None of this work would have been possible without the generosity of organisations and local community groups and individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eketahuna.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/muschair.png\" alt=\"musuem 2026wheelchairmedical\" class=\"wp-image-5862\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eketahuna.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/muschair.png 600w, https:\/\/www.eketahuna.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/muschair-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.eketahuna.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/muschair-150x113.png 150w, https:\/\/www.eketahuna.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/muschair-135x100.png 135w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>We would like to thank the following for their generous support, time, and expertise,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>WBS Masterton<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kevin McIntyre, and \u2018Woodville Pioneer Museum\u2019<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Phil, of \u2018A1 Furniture Removals\u2019 Dannevirke<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mathew of \u2018Crown Lynn Kiwi\u2019, Eket\u0101huna<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gus, of \u2018AL-Wood Joinery\u2019, Pahiatua<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Woodville Volunteer Fire Brigade<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eket\u0101huna Volunteer Fire Brigade<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eket\u0101huna Rugby Football Club<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Our committee members and amazing volunteers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And finally. we extend our heartfelt gratitude to our community members, whose dedication and hard work made a significant impact on our project.
