'Exhibitions at the new museum building [opened in 1977] were developed to show the prehistory of the people, some of the more striking natural heritage, and a selection of the most significant cultural treasures were given pride of place in the central-exhibition hall. The Masterpieces Exhibition remains in place today and this book gives the reader a thorough account of each of the 209 objects on display ... A series of maps locates every place mentioned in the text' (cover blurb).
