Gifting of artefacts to the collection
Thank you for considering the National Army Museum as a home for your taonga. The Collection helps us understand the New Zealand experience of war, remember the sacrifice and cost to the nation and to help tell the story of what it means to be a New Zealander.
We have a Collection Policy that helps guide our consideration of items offered, looking at their relevance to the development of the collection, collection holdings we already have, available storage space, and staff resourcing.
Although we appreciate your generosity, the National Army Museum is unable to accept every donation offered to the collection. This means that sometimes, after careful assessment by our Collection Acquisitions Committee, we may have to decline an offer of donation.
We are therefore unable to accept unsolicited donations, so before you drop off or send us any items, please fill in a Collection Donation Offer form and wait for our response.
