Museums Policy

Adopted 2002.

The Council plays an active role in the museums sector.

This policy sets the direction for the Council’s involvement in museums services and provides a framework for its continued contribution to museums in Wellington.

This policy may assist the Council in its roles with museums as funder, advocate and facilitator. It does this by providing:

  • guiding principles that express the Council’s values in dealing with museum related issues
  • specific criteria for assessing proposals for establishing new museums and associated initiatives
  • information on the role of museums, why Council supports them, and how it should support them.
