First of all the Community Mafutaga Tupulaga Tokelau Porirua had asked if they could borrow some of the Tokelauan taoga in the Te Papa Pacific Collection for a big Easter Festival held every two years, this year organised by the local Tokelau community in Wellington. As the community isn’t an institution (which we usually lend to) and because they only wanted the objects for a few hours on Easter Sunday we needed to treat this request a bit differently. porirua te-papa places museumsandgalleries art blogs Thu, 19 Apr 2012 00:00:00 GMT http://blog.tepapa.govt.nz/2012/04/19/tokelau-expo-a-different-loan-request/ Te Papa's blog 2012-04-19T00:00:00Z -41.2903326 174.78192750276241 Te Papa, 55, Cable Street, Te Aro, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand
