The Wellington Museums Trust invites you to a presentation on their recent research into admission charging amongst New Zealand museums, and attitudes to charging in Wellington through two surveys conducted in 2010 and 2011.
The 2010 survey sought information on the processes and the affects of charging or not charging amongst museums and other cultural/visitor attractions within New Zealand and the 2011 survey sought visitor and stakeholder opinions on charging admission to non Wellington residents to City Gallery Wellington and the Museum of Wellington City & Sea as well as attitudes to the introduction of a Wellington Attractions Card.
The session will start with a light breakfast at 7.30 am followed by the presentation and discussion starting at 8 am.
This is a free event, please RSVP to Museums Aotearoa here.
