The Ministry for Culture & Heritage (MCH), in Māori Manatū Taonga , is a ministry and Public Service Department in New Zealand responsible for the arts, music, film, radio, sports and cultural heritage of the Country as well as the preservation of its history.

history

The Ministry for Culture & Heritage was founded in 2000. But the New Zealand government's commitment to protecting its cultural and historical heritage dates back to 1865 when the Colonial Museum was founded in Wellington . It was followed by other institutions such as the Alexander Turnbull Library in 1918, the Dominion Archives in 1926, now called Archives New Zealand , and others. The National Art Gallery and the Dominion Museum, which both operated independently from 1930 to 1992, were finally combined to form the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa . Works such as the government-commissioned work An Encyclopaedia of New Zealand , published in 1966, underscored the government's will to secure knowledge of the country's history and culture and to make it accessible to large parts of the population. This was followed by foundings such as the National Film Unit , the Queen Elizabeth II Arts Council , the Creative New Zealand and agencies such as the New Zealand Historic Places Trust , which was later renamed Heritage New Zealand .

In 1975 the government's cultural activities were administered and controlled by the Department of Internal Affairs , until 1991 when the newly established Ministry of Cultural Affairs took over. In the late 1990s, the government broadened its perspective on cultural and historical matters and made them more important. To implement the new requirements, the Ministry for Culture & Heritage was finally founded in 2000 , under it, as of 2018, seventeen so-called agencies (state organizations) that offer their public services for a wide variety of tasks.
