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.
