Approval of a land purchase is expected as soon as Tuesday for the space to build the museum. It is expected to house permanent collections as well as temporary ones. <\/p>\n<p>The article says the museum will be run by The Movie Museum Limited, a company formed by Sirs Peter Jackson and Richard Taylor. The two men are cinema fans and each owns a considerable film collection that will be featured in the museum. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www-images.theonering.org\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/capt.34af9cff542843d9bf5ba1d01fc46683-34af9cff542843d9bf5ba1d01fc46683-0.jpg\" class=\"no-lazyload\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www-images.theonering.org\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/capt.34af9cff542843d9bf5ba1d01fc46683-34af9cff542843d9bf5ba1d01fc46683-0.jpg\" alt=\"Richard Taylor\" width=\"399\" height=\"266\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-35692 no-lazyload\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The story also detailed that it would be across from Te Papa, Wellington&#8217;s world-class museum and sit between Wakefield and Cable Streets, the site it was rumored to be a possibility at before, at the end of Tory Street in Wellington.
