Ian Griffin, Chairman shouldn’t be swimming for sprinklers, Otago Daily Times, 4 February 2026
Museum directors should not have to swim marathons to keep the lights on, Ian Griffin writes.
As I typed this, Tūhura Otago Museum’s chairman was swimming Cook Strait.
Not metaphorically. Actually.
Twenty-odd kilometres of cold, tide-ripped water between the North and South Islands, raising money so the museum can install a sprinkler system.
