The New Zealand Industrial Exhibition was an industrial exhibition held in a large[1] Industrial Exhibition Building in Wellington, between Lambton Quay and Stout Street in 1885.[2] Organised by Julius Vogel it was intended to display New Zealand's industries to both encourage foreign investment and to boost New Zealand's self-confidence.[2]
Opening
The exhibition was opened by William Jervois, (Governor-General of New Zealand) on 1 August 1885,[2] with the Mayors of Auckland (William Waddel), Christchurch (Charles Hulbert) and Wellington (George Fisher) in attendance.[1]
Buildings, exhibits and entertainment
As well as the main purpose built exhibition building exiting an existing drill hall was used as a concert hall with a borrowed organ from Jenkins of Christchurch.[1]
And in St George's Hall refreshments were served on the ground floor, with its upper storey of St George's Hall being used for painting, drawing and photograph display.[1] There was a water colour competition, which was won by John Gully with his Western Coast of Tasman Bay.[3]
