Wonderland: The Magic of the Rose – the perfect way to celebrate Valentine's Day

Celebrate Valentine's Day in Wonderland

Sunday, 14 February 2010
Special Exhibitions Hall

Nothing embodies the spirit of Valentine's Day more than the rose. Throughout the ages the rose has evoked love and lovelorn longing. Be it the first flush of passion or an adoring crush, the heavenly fragrance, petals and thorns of the rose all lend themselves to expressions of romance. So why not treat your loved one to a very special Valentine's Day with a visit to Auckland Museum's Wonderland: The Magic of the Rose exhibition.

Auckland Museum is offering a special deal on Valentine's Day (Sunday, 14 February). Purchase one ticket to the Wonderland: The Magic of the Rose, and you'll receive a second ticket absolutely free!

In Wonderland listen to rose-infused romantic poems by Emily Bronte, George Elliot and Robbie Burns. Through art, artefacts, jewellery and treasured objects, explore the romantic significance of roses. Discover stories and legends of the flower, from the Greek goddess Aphrodite, to the tale of Mark Antony and Cleopatra. And there's so much more! It's the perfect escape before a romantic picnic or dinner.

The above offer is valid for Valentine's Day (14 February 2010) only.
