The Regional Museums Policy for Capital Construction Projects is a capital construction assistance fund which prioritises those few non-central government funded museums and art galleries holding collections of the greatest national significance.
Overview
The Regional Museums Policy for Capital Construction Projects is a ‘fund of last resort’.
It enables government to assist those few regional museums and art galleries housing collections of greatest national significance to New Zealanders. Applications must be for major construction projects which will improve access to and care of these collections. Exhibition costs are excluded.
This fund does not support museums and galleries with access to alternative sources of central government vote funding, and/or institutions holding collections that are predominantly of local and/or regional significance (as opposed to national significance).
