The Exhibition

(4 September 2011 – 29 October 2011)

UNION: The Heart of Rugby Exhibition, powered by TelstraClear, will showcase over 120 images in Auckland's landmark Town Hall building. The exhibition will see the venue's Concert Chamber transformed into an international gallery befitting the world-class status of the calibre of works on show.

Following on from the successful Muhammad Ali Exhibition staged by Sports Inc's Kelsen Butler in Auckland city's Sky Tower, Butler was again keen to secure a venue that best showcased a unique event. "UNION: The Heart of Rugby is going be a unique exhibition. The Auckland Town Hall is one of the city's most iconic and historic buildings and is an ideal venue to showcase a world-class event to a large number of people."

The photographic experience at the exhibition will provide the rugby public the chance to savour imagery by some of the world's most renowned sports photographers in an intimate and interactive environment.

Complementing the still photography will be a series of audio visual interviews offering perspectives from the photographers on selected photos as well as comments from their subjects and insights from legendary sports photographer Neil Leifer.
