Foundation Co-Chairs Alastair Carruthers and Dayle, Lady Mace introduced the guests to the Foundation’s purpose, highlighted the opportunity to support the upcoming artistic, cultural, and scientific exchanges with Te Papa’s peers, and invited the ex-pat New Zealanders present to help Te Papa achieve its ambitions and obligations as the national museum and art gallery. |

The Foundation welcomes donations from UK residents to support Foundation activities in London and to directly support Te Papa’s ambitions.
