Council releases discussion document on cultural
heritage sector
Auckland
Council today released a discussion document which looks at
its $61 million investment in five major arts and culture
heritage institutions across the city.
An independent review of the cultural heritage sector carried out by Stafford Strategy examines funding and governance arrangements for the five major cultural heritage institutions that are wholly, or in large part, funded by the council - Auckland War Memorial Museum Tāmaki Paenga Hira, Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki, Museum of Transport and Technology (MOTAT), New Zealand Maritime Museum and the Stardome Observatory and Planetarium.
“The cultural sector holds some of our city’s and country’s most prized possessions. We invest a large amount of public money in them and want the sector to work together to ensure future generations enjoy the full benefits of our museums and galleries,” - Mayor Phil Goff.
