The New Zealand and South Seas International Exhibition was a world's fair held in Dunedin, New Zealand from 17 November 1925 until 1 May 1926,[1][2] which celebrated that country and the South Seas. It was the third such exhibition held in Dunedin, with earlier exhibitions in 1865 and 1889.[3] The exhibition had over 3 million visitors. It had added a new 'Special Exhibits' section focusing on art and craftwork made by women, a breakthrough that lifted the profile of women's art and craftwork.[4]
