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.
