WUNDERRUMA is an exhibition curated by Karl Fritsch and Warwick Freeman in response to an invitation from Wolfgang Lösche, the director of Galerie Handwerk in Munich, to assemble an exhibition of New Zealand contemporary jewellery for showing at the gallery during Schmuck in March 2014.

A catalog of the first and largest exhibition of its type ever to be shown in Europe. The title, Wunderruma, is a combination of the Maori word for room and the German word ‘Wunderkammer’ (chamber of wonders). The show comprises 150 items by more than 75 contemporary New Zealand designers and a focused selection of treasures of Maori culture from museum collections. Wunderruma was organised by Warwick Freeman and Karl Fritsch. In addition to contemporary jewellery, it includes items which the two curators personally consider key sources of inspiration for New Zealand’s jewellery makers.
