WEIt was a privilege to witness, firsthand, the generosity and spirit of Aotearoa New Zealand’s foremost champions of arts and culture at Te Papa @te_papa Foundation live auction and gala on Saturday 6 September.
All proceeds from the digital and live auctions, hosted and supported by Webb’s @webbsauctions, go toward supporting our national museum, Te Papa— including Webb’s buyer’s premiums.
Together, the auctions raised over $160,000 in support of Te Papa Foundation.
The gala evening and live auction featured an extraordinary array of objects, artworks, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences, culminating in a white-glove sale conducted by auctioneer Caolán McAleer. In parallel, the digital auction showcased over 60 equally impressive lots, generously donated by local businesses and individuals.
As the philanthropic arm of Te Papa, the Foundation plays a vital role in cultivating a community of donors at every level. All proceeds from the auctions directly support programmes, acquisitions, and special projects at Te Papa—or are invested in its endowment fund to ensure long-term impact.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the generous individuals and organisations who contributed to this remarkable event, and to Te Papa Foundation for its unwavering commitment to enriching our national museum. We look forward to seeing you all next year.
