Museums Aotearoa

Museums Aotearoa, Te Tari o Ngā Whare Taonga o Te Motu, is the independent professional association for New Zealand’s museums and galleries and those who work for them.

We support the museums of Aotearoa to be thriving and sustainable. Kia tino toitū, tōnu i ngā whare taonga o Aotearoa.

We do this by:

advocating on behalf of members and the sector,
nurturing excellence in professional practice,
and extending manaakitanga toward our members.

Everything we do is underpinned by a commitment to the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

Museums Aotearoa values:

engagement with communities in the care and management, research, and interpretation of their treasures and taonga
shared ideas and resources in collaborative projects inside the sector and with other partners
development of expertise, research, mātauranga Māori and scholarship
exchange of knowledge enabling New Zealand museums and galleries to set a benchmark for exemplary professional museum practices and ethical principles
