The museum styled exhibition features an array of charred artefacts retrieved from New Zealand house fires.
The Museum of Fires Past gives Kiwis an up-close and personal view of the harsh reality of a house fire, emphasising the importance of having a functioning smoke alarm. All of the items displayed were carefully crafted to accurately resemble the devastating effects of fire, with each telling a genuine story of destruction and survival.
The artefacts are displayed on spotlighted plinths, with the stories etched onto a plaque. The owners all escaped with their lives due to functioning smoke alarms in their homes. The Museum of Fires Past can be found in a series of bus shelter activations, supported by wider social, digital, radio and out-of-home across New Zealand. The message outlines the true stories, along with where to install a smoke alarm.
