Most of all, we welcome all the delegates and speakers. You bring your ideas, personal perspectives and willingness to share these with your colleagues. This is what Museums Aotearoa is all about – a collegial network which helps us all to be stronger, better informed, and well-equipped to lead our museums and galleries into MUSEUMS AOATEAROA the future. The Museums Aotearoa Board, staff and all our conference team look forward to an inspiring time at MA13 and beyond.
