Whakamana are closing their Christchurch location and moving to Wellington. As this happens the article will need to be updated to reflect this. At the moment I think the article needs to reflect the Christchurch location until a new one is established, and I undid an edit that removed location details from the infobox. For one, it broke it and moved the map back to Dunedin which is wrong. Secondly, the new location isn't clarified and so Whakamana (in its last formation) is still based in Christchurch for now. There was also some suggestion that Whakamana is changing its name but this will need to be cited as the website and all major sources signify this is not the case.

Just another note, be aware that while the Christchurch museum is closed, arguably it is not a case for changing the intro to past tense unless Whakamana as an organisation is shutdown in its entirety.--Melonbob (talk) 08:22, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You will find that Whakamana's website refers to their name as the "NZ Institute…". I suspect that the museum continues to exist under the umbrella of this institute, but either way, they didn't make clear to the media this technicality or new name, as they are variously referred to as the same museum in reporting.
I prefer to keep Wikipedia in the present, where possible, rather than leaving inaccuracies about the museum's previous location in Chch, but I am fine with acting under the assumption that the museum still exists *in spirit*, even if not in a real place for the time being. Thanks for correcting the infobox, I didn't realise it would break like that. I have fixed it now.
