  • Museums Policy
    Museums Policy 1 Introduction Wellington has good museums. In the last four years the sector has grown with the establishment of Te Papa, the Museum of Wellington City & Sea, and the development of smaller community and specialist museums. Wellington City Council plays an active role in the museums sector. Its key relationships can be summarised as follows: ! Te Papa receives sponsorship support from the Council. ! The Museums Trust receives funding from Council. The Trust manages the Museum of Wellington, City & Sea; the City Gallery; the Colonial Cottage; Capital E; the Cable Car Museum; and the Plimmers Ark Gallery. ! The Katherine Mansfield Birthplace and the Carter Observatory receive grants from the Council. Community proposals for new museums also occur frequently and there are important community based museum initiatives in the city. These sometimes involve a Council response concerning finance, advocacy, facilitation or other forms of assistance. 1.1 Why have a Museums Policy? The Local Government Act 1974 gives Councils the power to establish facilities and services which “provide for the recreation, amusement and instruction of the public”. The activities of museums would clearly fit within this provision. However, the scope of Council involvement, the relationship with regional and private initiatives and criteria for responding to requests for support in this area all require a policy framework. 1.2 What Does This Policy Aim to Achieve? This policy sets the direction for the Council’s involvement in museums services and provides a framework for its continued contribution to museums in Wellington. This policy may assist the Council in its roles with museums as funder, advocate and facilitator.
