Nelson Museum resorts to Give a Little to protect taonga
Twenty million dollars of irreplacable treasures are a few sandbags and plastic sheets away from ruin as Nelson Provincial Museum struggles to fund a water tight storage facility. Now, it's resorting to Give a Little to protect the taonga after cuts to government funding. The Museum said its existing storage facility is leaky and on its last legs and precious collections stored there are under threat everytime it rains. Lucinda Jimson, the Chief Executive of Nelson Provincial Museum speaks to Lisa Owen.
