This wooden Victorian town was replaced after the 1931 earthquake and fire with the fashionable architecture vogue of the 1930s, the modern American style of the era which is known today as Art Deco. In February each year Napier hosts an Art Deco weekend with wine, food, jazz, dancing, vintage cars, plane rides and a variety of entertainment, showcasing one of the most outstanding collections of Art Deco buildings in the world.

Tells the poignant stories of the lives and deaths of those buried at the historic Napier Hill Cemetery. Tales from the Victorian era through to the 1931 earthquake are uncovered in this publication accompanying the exhibition jointly curated by Gail Pope, the archivist at the HBMAG, and well known filmmaker and writer Peter Wells.
Somebody’s Darling focuses not only on the well known local identities buried in this historic landmark, which opened in 1855 adjacent to the Botanical Gardens, but also the ‘everyday’ men, women and children who also have extraordinary stories associated with their lives, and their deaths.
