Te Papa told Govt it risked losing relevance as national museum
Te Papa told the Government it risked losing relevance as a national museum when it asked it for money to help move into South Auckland. The museum's bid for 1.5 million dollars to develop a detailed business case for the proposed Te Papa Manukau project was rejected in this year's budget. Documents show Te Papa warned the government it was not engaging with diverse communities and not remaining relevant. Laura Dooney reports.
