Factual NZ Heritage TV Show Looking to help Small Museums

Factual NZ Heritage TV Show Looking to help Small Museums and Heritage Sites in need

05 November 2015

Top Shelf Productions are working on a brand new factual TV series about revitalising small town museums and historical sites around New Zealand. The series will screen on Choice TV next year and will be a must see for New Zealand history lovers.

There are more than 500 heritage sites and museums in New Zealand with over ninety percent of them in desperate need of help. Usually run by local volunteers, these caretakers of our history are not only struggling for funds, but struggling to get people to see their exhibits. The show’s presenter will visit these small towns and with support from the local community, they will help revitalise each site’s collections and reveal some of New Zealand’s most fascinating forgotten stories and treasures.

Top Shelf are calling all small, quirky museums and heritage sites full of rich stories that are dying to be told and hidden treasures that need to be seen.

Are you struggling to get people to see your exhibits? Facing the threat of closure?

They want to help!

Must be available for filming for one week between January – April 2016.
