Event details

Step back in time inside a Victorian home in Ponsonby and you'll find more than just random knick-knacks.

Every object was a symbol of the residents' aspirations and hidden agendas.

Architectural Historian Edward Bennett will delve deep into the meaning behind the décor choices of this era of "Conspicuous Consumption" and "Kitsch."

Get ready to be astonished by what Victorian homeowners were trying to convey to their visitors.

Presented by: Love Ponsonby
