Prepare to be dazzled by a sapphire-blue wedding gown, worn by 21-year-old Annie Eliot, for her marriage in September 1873.

Join Trish Nugent-Lyne, Pou Tiaki/Collections & Curatorial Lead, for a short talk exploring this wonderful gown, gifted to the Museum through the Blennerhassett Estate, from a large, successful and talented Whanganui family.

Everyone is welcome. No need to book. Admission is free. Koha for the Museum is always appreciated. The gown will remain on display throughout December and January, through to February 12, 2026.
