“Whoever wants to engage people’s interest must provoke them”
- Salvador Dali

The Foundation gala is an opportunity to contribute to the important work we do, while sharing an exceptional evening with like-minded individuals.

Along with the opulence and glamour of the event, guests will have the opportunity to bid on exclusive auction items. These include rare experiences to delve you deeper into the heart of our National Museum, and gain a better understanding of the significant work done there.

Te Papa is a diverse museum which has a meaningful impact within the Science, Art, Learning, Culture and Museum sectors across Aotearoa. However, there is always more work which could be done and more New Zealander's who could be reached. The gala is an example of the tireless work The Foundation does to enrich and extend this work, with all proceeds from the event going towards the cause.
