Out in the Field

Peter Bush (1930–2023) was a legendary New Zealand photojournalist with an insatiable desire to discover and record the world. 
From the 1940s, he travelled around Aotearoa and internationally, photographing almost everything he saw. 
Upon Peter’s death in 2023, over 300,000 of his photographs came to Te Manawa, where the team is now uncovering their histories. Out in the Field is an invitation to delve into the collection, following Peter Bush back through time. 
Expect to discover photographs of the people, places, and events that made Aotearoa what it is today.
