24 September 2010 - MOTAT offers Golden Ticket to Franklin District Council Residents
Franklin District Council residents can look forward to free fun and interactive experiences at MOTAT from 1 to 24 September.
Franklin District Council residents will gain free entry to MOTAT by presenting vouchers that will appear in local papers and letter boxes throughout the month, vouchers available at local libraries, or by displaying their rates bill or proof of address on entry.
MOTAT Museum Director Jeremy Hubbard says that MOTAT prides itself on offering exciting and fresh exhibitions that bring to life New Zealand's transport history.
"All our exhibitions offer visitors the chance to engage with a piece of history that is truly unique to New Zealand, the Pumphouse for example was one reason MOTAT was founded. We want to offer Franklin District Council residents the chance to reconnect with these pearls of New Zealand history," says Mr Hubbard.
"We have something for every member of the family, whether it's mum or dad interested in the history of our transport collection, or the kids who can't wait to jump into Voyager1 or explore the Tactile Dome."
MOTAT's latest attractions include the exhibition, ‘I Am The Last Tram', which explores life in Auckland and New Zealand during the influential decade of the 1950s. Experience the changes to traditional society, youth culture, global and political milestones, the tragedies that gripped a nation, and the technological and transportation advances that shaped New Zealand into the country we know and love today.
MOTAT is also holding an event for the whole family on Sunday 19th September entitled ‘Nifty Fifties' - all themed around life in the 1950s! There will be vintage vehicles on display, make and take activities for the kids, and the MOTAT Lollymaker and Blacksmith will be in action.
