Get It to Te Papa follows journalist Hayden Donnell on an ambitious quest to collect underappreciated Kiwi cultural artefacts and get them into New Zealand’s national museum, Te Papa.
Together with his director José Barbosa, Hayden scours the country for artefacts including the Waitangi Dildo, the animatronic fruit and vegetables from defunct supermarket chain Big Fresh, Huntly’s DEKA sign, Auckland’s Giant Santa, Suzanne Paul and the original Lets Gone Warriors sign.
