I'm wondering if there's enough content here to split off a controversy section. (I might just do this anyway, come to think of it, to see how it goes.) It wouldn't seem complete without some notes about the Virgin In a Condom controversy a few years ago, which had people arguing very noisily about the museum's principles. Would anyone be keen on perhaps researching and writing a bit about this, even if it's just a paragraph? I wasn't really taking enough notice of things at the time to be able to back myself to do it accurately without lots of work. Izogi 06:33, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
The article states that the museum was opened in 1998 - but ignores its previous history completely which goes back over a century (and was once known as the Doominion Museum). Sabine's Sunbird talk 23:56, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
We need more on the building itself. It is weird looking. Who designed it?

I removed the information about "Fletcher Construction", seems to be kind of an advertisment. It's quite unusual for an article about a museum to name the construction company. Therefore: architect. There probably should be an article about Jasmax Architects or at least Ivan Mercep.

Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa → Te Papa — WP:AT outlines conventions for naming article titles. The current title doesn't comply with that at all. Everybody knows the museum as Te Papa, as the lead acknowledges, and that should be its title. Schwede 66 19:43, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

The article says Usually known as Te Papa

I don't understand why closing the Museum for two days for cleaning following a visitor attending with COVID-19 would be a controversy. Such was standard practice at the time and there is certainly no indication of it being controversial in the linked NZ Herald article. In fact, I query the need to even mention it in this article.
