Join us at Gala Royale. Every dollar raised will help protect and share the taonga of Nelson Tasman through the Museum’s new ARC Facility.

“The ARC facility will be so much more than a storeroom. It’s our collective promise to protect the stories, taonga, and treasures that embody who we are.
Every object we care for holds a piece of our region’s heart, and right now those precious treasures are at risk. The new facility in Richmond will finally give us a safe, climate-controlled home where these irreplaceable collections can endure for generations.
When our community comes together at Gala Royale, we’re not just raising funds; we’re investing in our shared history and ensuring our children and grandchildren will still be able to touch, learn from and connect with it.
This is a legacy project, one our future generations will be proud of.”
