Hocken Library curator Robyn Notman has spent the past few months ferretting through the university's historic geology, zoology, anatomy and botany collections for a quirky exhibition to mark Otago University's 150th birthday.
A Garden of Earthly Delights celebrates teaching, research, exploration, collecting and curiosity at New Zealand's first university.
Robyn is the Head Curator of Pictorial Collections, and, as she tells Simon Morris, she's been delving into unknown territory for this exhibition of rare, interesting and beautiful artefacts and art.
Robyn told him she's been working with artist Heather Straka on the exhibition which will be free and open to the public. A Garden of Earthly Delights is showing at Hocken Collections in Dunedin, from May 11.
