This big, glorious book mines Te Papa's collections to explore and expand upon
the way we think about our botanical world and its cultural imprint. A true treasure,
it features over 400 selections by an expert, cross-disciplinary museum curatorial
team that range from botanical specimens and art to photography, furniture,
jewellery, tivaevae, applied art, textiles, stamps and more.
Flora's twelve essays provide a deeper contextual understanding of different topics,
including the unique characteristics of New Zealand flora as well as how artists
and cultures have used flora as a motif and a subject over time. Elegant, expert and
engrossing.

Reviews / Votes
"Every one of the 402 images in this book is a love letter and a testament to human life entangled with the lives of plants. Te Papa's large curatorial team, who spend their days steeped in this glorious collection, have dug deep to find those stories, and to share them with us. Open Flora on any page and you will be drawn into and immersed in those stories. What pleasure, what joy, what richness, what abundance, what love" -- Aotearoa New Zealand Review of Books, reviewed by Joyce CampbellMore details
