I think that the dynamic between Te Papa and Auckland is that regardless of how Auckland chose to present their offerings, Auckland's focus should be regional and war memorial, in the same way that Te Papa's focus is national. Auckland shouldn't be replicating what Te Papa is offering as an experience, but creating its own unique experience.

I think that another point of difference is that the Auckland War Memorial Museum is lucky to still have its heritage building, and should capitalize on this better. The building and the park are a beautiful point of difference, and if they can swing it, they should have more outdoor events and displays to capture the people who are recreational users of the park.
