The annual giving programme starts at just $10 a week and offers access to exciting benefits designed to bring you closer to the museum, its collections and community.
Every year, Te Papa needs to raise around $30 million over and above its core funding. You can help our national museum to thrive by making a contribution – every gift counts.
