Rewarding vandalism

Stuff reports:

Te Papa has announced it is reviewing a controversial exhibition, part of which was damaged by protesters last week.

The Signs of a Nation Te Tiriti o Waitangi exhibition has been at the museum since opening day in 1998. It has been changed a number of times but this would be the first full review of it, Te Papa said in a statement.

Te Papa co-leaders Tumu Whakarae/chief executive Courtney Johnston and Kaihautū/Māori co-leader Dr Arapata Hakiwai said today that the museum’s Te Tiriti o Waitangi display would be “renewed”.

Great to know that if you object to an exhibit at Te Papa, the way to get it changed is to vandalise it.
