The Auckland Exhibition, also known as the Auckland Industrial, Agricultural and Mining Exhibition, was held in Auckland Domain, Auckland, New Zealand, in 1913 and 1914.[1]
Opening
The Auckland Industrial, Agricultural and Mining Exhibition[2] was opened on 1 December 1913 by its chairman, George Elliott, with the Prime Minister (William Massey) and mayor of Auckland (Peter Dignan) also in attendance. A message of welcome was read from King George V.[3] There were 18,000 attendees on the opening day,[2] and the fair ran until 18 April 1914[4]
Exhibits and entertainment
Buildings included a concert hall, art gallery,[5] machinery court,[6] palace of industries,[7] and an exhibition tower.[8] Entertainments in the fair's "Wonderland"[8] included a water shute, tobaggons, a figure-8 railway[2] and a tea room.[5]
Postage stamps
Stamps were issued to mark the exhibition, but although the monarch was now George V, the stamps commemorating the event were overprints of Edward VII stamps.[9] Few were sold, and forgeries are now common.[9]
