[2] The series was commissioned by Television New Zealand for TVNZ6, a digital channel and New Zealand's first fully public service broadcasting channel without advertising breaks.

[3] Each episode runs for 5 to 8 minutes and shows on rotation in what would be the advertising break between programmes.

Since TVNZ6 changed format to TVNZU on 1 March 2011 the series was moved to TVNZ7[4] and now available on You Tube.

The series was made by the Gibson Group and each episode produced by Gary Scott and hosted by either Simon Morton or Riria Hotere.

A host interviews subject experts about a particular object or the behind-the-scenes work the Museum does.
