Tales from Te Papa is a new TVNZ 6 series of two to five minute programmes leading the viewers on an insider’s tour of significant treasures from the vast collections held by Te Papa and other museums, not normally on display. Each object tells a unique story about culture, history, science and exploration. These national treasures will now be documented in a fashion which will be accessible to generations of New Zealanders to come, on every screen, online, and in schools.

This is a great step forward for our young channel because TVNZ 6 is now partnering with yet another New Zealand institution, Te Papa, building on the special relationship TVNZ and Te Papa already enjoy. Significantly, this is also the first time that TVNZ 6 is seen as a partner with an organisation from the private sector, thanks to the foresight of Vero in offering the project support.
