The Otago Polytechnic design lecturer explored the archives of Larnach Castle and worked with the Barker family for several months researching, curating and designing the exhibition, which charts the story of the historic castle’s restoration from 1967 to present day.
The exhibition, which opened to the public yesterday, includes never-before-seen footage of castle life from the past 50 years of the Barker family’s occupation of the castle.
