Due to organisational changes at Te Papa, the Museum Development Adviser service is moving to an online model. We are scaling back our service during this change, so it may take us a little longer than usual to reply. We appreciate your patience. |
Contact our NSTP Development Advisers
We support kaitiaki, gallery and museum staff and volunteers who care for taonga across Aotearoa — offering free expert advice and resources to help preserve collections for future generations.
