The wardrobe of New Zealand's longest-serving female MP, Whetu Tirikatene-Sullivan ONZ, will be exhibited at Museum Theatre Gallery Hawke's Bay (MTG).
Since Ms Tirikatene-Sullivan died three years ago, her family have gifted a large range of garments to Hawke's Bay Museums Trust.
Daughter May-Ana Tirikatene-Sullivan said her mother was a fashion icon.
"Fashion, family and politics were very important to my mother.
"We are pleased we can showcase her unique story and the work she did to put New Zealand on the map, by making a statement through fashion."
