Fred Dagg Exhibition

From Afternoons, 1:29 pm on 26 July 2017

In April this year we lost one of our most well-known satirists and man behind the kiwi icon, Fred Dagg. New Zealand-born John Clarke died aged 68 while on a hike with his family in Victoria's Grampian National Park.

But the unmistakable hat, shearer's singlet, shorts and gumboots of Fred Dagg are living on.

The classic costume is on display at Te Papa, and curator Stephanie Gibson explains.
