Current Exhibitions

The current exhibitions we have at the Charlotte Museum in addition to our regular display of artefacts are:

Viv Jones’ Cartoon Exhibition

  • These cartoons were seen in Circle magazines through the seventies and eighties containing Lesbian and Gay themes.

Pop Up Museum

If you are interested in having the popup museum to visit your group or your town then let us know!

Miriam Saphira, the Trust founder, will be bringing a display of a tee-shirt quilt, badges, magazines, information banners with  2 films and a performance.

We would love it if some local groups could get in contact about us coming to visit with our pop up! Currently we’re interested in doing a pop up in the North Shore and somewhere in South Auckland. We would need a suggestion of an affordable location to hold the pop up and some help with spreading the word!

Our next pop up is to be decided! Stay tuned!
