“Since 2001 the museum has received $3 million annually for acquisitions across all collections….Te Papa did comment, however, that the proportion of art acquisitions against total budget has been decreasing in the last few years as other collection area acquisitions have been increasing. In 2003/04 art acquisitions accounted for 86% of the funding, and in 2005/06 50%.”
