The Otago Museum wanted to include a video to add some life to the Gifts & Legacies exhibition.

We interviewed key people who gave their thoughts about subjects such as benefaction and philanthropy, why museums collections are so important and the care that is taken when looking after such special items.

The people who featured within the video each had a special story to tell and I think that capturing the interviews was very valuable for the exhibition as well as being an important archive for the future.
