 EJANZH: Articles: Veracini and Muckle, Reflections of Indigenous History inside the National Museums of Australia and ...
Te Papa was inaugurated in 1993 with the merging of the National Museum and the National Art Gallery.
[20] Te Papa is represented as an active instrument of intercommunity collaboration, as an institution fully engaged with the representation of a relatively sophisticated version of the country’s history.
Te Papa’s synthesis of Maori and Pakeha pasts and its attention to history, the non-communicating parallelism of the historical discourses of the National Museum of Australia, and the non-historical and non-communicating approach of the CCT emerge as three different prototypes of historical representation in a museal context.

 Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa:The Case of the Intangible Heritage
Te Papa's significance as a museum institution in the Pacific is in part its commitment to being a bicultural organisation.
Te Papa originated from the merging of the National Museum and the National Art Gallery, both dominated by the Western institutionalisation of heritage.
Because Te Papa has already established the conceptual foundation for including intangible heritage, it is simply a matter of emphasis by incorporating a statement into the acquisition strategy to follow through with its implementation.

Te Papa's founding concept was developed through an extensive national consultative process and adopted by Government in 1990 (extended in 1991), and endorsed by the Board when it was appointed in 1992.
Te Papa maintains policies, procedures and guidelines that govern the way the organisation undertakes its activities, including in relation to corporate governance; corporate decision-making; human resources; health and safety; emergency response; finance; collection development, management, and conservation (including kōiwi tangata); exhibition development and delivery; and the operation of the Museum.

Te Papa is a descriptive term in the Maori language meaning, amongst other things, the “father,” and the word “Papa” means “father” in English.
The Respondent’s legitimate interest is further established because Te Papa is a common descriptive term referring to the father and, therefore, the Respondent had a vested legitimate interest in the disputed domain name at the point of registration.

 James M. Gore, Representations of Non-Indigenous History and Identity in the National Museum of Australia and Museum of ...
This includes accusations that both the NMA and Te Papa marginalise and trivialise the contribution of the non-indigenous population – especially significant as it points directly to how the museums are attempting to explore notions of non-indigenous national identity, and how successful they are perceived to be.
The underlying concept to both the NMA and Te Papa was the inter-relation of the environment, indigenous and non-indigenous history, and this was to permeate throughout the galleries.
The non-indigenous history galleries at the NMA and Te Papa, therefore, address national identity in various ways, such as through the idea that identity is founded on a settler and multicultural society, or on a relationship with the land.

 Denis Dutton on the Museum of New Zealand, Te Papa Tongarewa
But Te Papa’s odd emphasis is deliberate policy: it wants to obliterate of distinctions of aesthetic quality.
But whinge about Te Papa’s charmless degradation of a New Zealand icon, and you’re just being “elitist,” trying to maintain an outdated, snobbish caste system that still believes works of art are better than refrigerators.
This is the kind of presentation that made the Te Maori exhibition that visited the United States in 1984 so famous, and it’s largely absent in Te Papa.

The national Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa was comprehensively restructured in the 1990s in accordance with new government policies of 'biculturalism,' designed to reformulate relations between indigenous Maori and descendants of colonial settlers.
This article, which traces the development of the new Museum, is a case study, not only of contemporary cultural politics in a settler society, but also of the impact of discursive theory on museums.
Te Papa has embraced critical literature and has incorporated into its exhibitions notions derived from literary theory, such as subversion, deconstruction, and 'play.' 'Biculturalism' may be seen as...

Since it opened in 1998, Te Papa, arguably the world"s foremost exponent of the "new museology", has been popularly and critically supported for its innovations in the areas of popular accessibility, bicultural history, and Maori-government management arrangements.
It is evident that despite Te Papa"s gestures towards innovative postcolonial meaning, the museum perpetuates an older museum paradigm.
By revealing the limitations of Te Papa"s concepts and practices in this area, I contend that the museum is better seen as a symbol of biculturalism than a public forum for its deliberation.
