More than 50 lithographs and silk-screen prints produced by some of New Zealand’s leading commercial artists between the 1920's and 1960's make up the exhibition Selling the Dream: Classic New Zealand Tourism Posters. Sourced from private collections, the posters promote the glamour of travel and New Zealand’s tourism attractions of the era.
