Dowse Art Museum's Pakohe exhibition, 1985–86

Under the directorship of James Mack (1981–88) the Dowse Art Museum in Lower Hutt championed New Zealand craft and repositioned the gallery as a repository of decorative rather than fine arts. The Pakohe exhibition of 1985 and 1986 celebrated, in the parlance of the day, master craftsmen working in stone.
