Welcome to newzealandmusiceum, or nzmusiceum for short. Over the next little while I will be compiling images and words connected to New Zealand music. Initially, there will be illustrated discographies of some of our most well known rock artists, and photos of associated memorabilia. This nucleus will grow over time to incorporate wider New Zealand popular culture. It is definitely going to be a 'work in progress' project, so please stay tuned to this site. It will be an interesting journey...

Well, another New Zealand music month is coming up in May. If you are in Christchurch during that month, please do get down to the South Library at 66 Colombo Street in Beckenham and have a look at the exhibition titled "Interesting New Zealand music singles". No, it's not a promotion for a dating service, but an eclectic selection of compact disc and vinyl singles by New Zealand musicians, with little stories attached to some of them. Like the title says, 'interesting'! I hope it is for you...
