Podcasts
Toi Te Papa Art of the Nation has been the starting point for a lively series of talks presented by Te Papa’s art team. Every Tuesday and Thursday of the Arts Festival, tours of the different sections of the exhibition provided an intimate look at the works and artists on display.
Podcasts will be made available every week, not in a chronological order for technical reasons.
